Description
Blackfriars Monastery Guest House is an 18th-century building located on the southeast side of St Peter's Lane, separated from the main monastery buildings by the River Stour. The guest house is two storeys high and constructed of flint, with patches of red brick. It features buttresses with stone quoins and a restored tiled roof. The building has four restored trefoil-headed lancet windows and a stone archway. Inside, there is a tie-beam roof. The guest house is part of a group with the former Blackfriars Monastery on Blackfriars Street.
