Priests Cottage the Forge

Priests Cottage and The Forge is a house dating from the 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th century. It is timber framed and has a front and parts of the rear clad in colourwashed roughcast, featuring a tile-hung gable with some tiles arranged in a semi-circle pattern, and plain tiled roofs. The building has two storeys with an attic in the left gable and in the gable on the right-hand return front. There is a square stack at the junction of the gable and main range, and an offset end stack on the right-hand return front, which is now enclosed in a pentice extension.

The windows are a mix of casement styles, including one large 5-light window on the first floor to the left of centre, a smaller 4-light window to the right of centre, and a 19th-century leaded 3-light window to the right. On the ground floor, there are three 3-light windows. The wing to the left has irregular fenestration, with two windows on the first floor and one below. There is a half-glazed door at the centre under a braced gable hood, and another half-glazed door under a drip board to the ground floor left of the gable. At the rear, there is a pentice extension and a hip-roofed, tile-hung square extension, which may be a stair-vice.
