Description
Prior's Lane is a former detached farmhouse dating from the late 18th century. It has been considerably restored but retains a picturesque appearance. The building features plastered walls and a thatched roof, and it stands two storeys high. A brick porch with a tiled roof is present at the front. Both the ground and first floors have five casement windows and one horizontally sliding sash window, all of which include glazing bars. At the rear, there is a late brick extension that is partly single-storey with a thatched roof and partly two-storey with a tiled roof, along with an open porch that has a tiled roof. The interior of the farmhouse has been modernised.
