Priestfield

Priestfield is a house that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed regular ironstone rubble, with the ground floor covered in stucco. The building features moulded bands at both the first and second floors, and a plain wood cornice. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, and there are three rendered brick stacks at the ends and two or three along the ridge from the left. The house has three storeys and three bays, with mainly 16-pane sash windows on the front elevation, along with two 20th-century bay windows. To the left, there is an arched carriageway. A datestone reading W/CD/1702 is located above the back doorway, which is attributed to William Councer, who likely rebuilt the house at that time. Inside, there are 19th-century plaster friezes and a hall ceiling.
