Description
The Priory is a 16th and 17th century building, altered later. It is two storeys high with an attic, and consists of three bays, the right-hand bay being gabled and projecting slightly. The building is constructed of flint and stone, with some brickwork, and has an old tile roof. The windows are stone mullioned casement windows, with a door within a 19th-century gabled porch in the projecting bay. Another gabled bay, also from the 19th century, is positioned to the right. Internally, there are exposed timber frames, a 17th-century staircase, and panelling.
