Description
The Priory is a pair of houses located on Church Road, dating from around 1827 and designed by Decimus Burton. No 2 is a three-storey building constructed of ashlar stone, topped with a slate roof featuring three gables and cornices. It has three casement windows with hood mouldings and 'Gothick' heads on the ground floor. Central French windows are set in a three-light bay, which has crenellations above, and the building features an ogee arch and a plinth, with steps leading to the street.
No 3, on the right side, is also from around 1827 and consists of two storeys with a basement and attics, made of ashlar stone. It has a slate roof with one dormer and a projecting section that contains two casements with hood moulding on the upper floor. The ground floor windows also have 'Gothick' heads, and there is a plinth with nine steps leading to the street, accompanied by a cast iron handrail. To the left, there is a mid-19th century extension with a gable, featuring a three-light mullion window on the second floor and a four-light mullion window on the first floor, both with hood mouldings above. Nos 2 and 3, along with Holy Trinity Church and the surrounding walls, form a cohesive group.
