Description

Priory Cottage is a house from the early 18th century located on Priory Road in Compton, Plymouth. The front features incised stucco with keyblocks and stone sills, topped by a steep asbestos slate roof with brick end stacks. The building has a shallow-depth plan and stands two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. It retains original or early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows, and the central door is a 20th-century glazed and panelled design. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
