Description
Priory House is an 18th-century building with later additions, situated on the south side of The Bayle, Folkestone. The principal part of the house is constructed of stone rubble with white brick dressings, displaying three storeys. It features a hipped tiled roof and a parapet. The front elevation presents three modern casement windows, while the ground floor retains two triple-sashed windows with intact glazing bars. A doorcase, constructed of cemented material and supported by brackets with a flat hood, provides the entrance to the six-panelled door.
The right-side elevation incorporates modern tile hanging on the upper floors, supported by wooden brackets creating an overhang. A late 19th-century octagonal tower, faced in cement, sits on the right-hand corner of this elevation, topped with a cupola. To the far left of the front elevation, a three-storey portion rises higher than the rest of the building and is clad with curved tiles.
Priory House is grouped with numbers 4 to 18 (even) on the same side.
