Description
Priestpool is a house built in the early 19th century, with some alterations and additions made in the 20th century. The exterior is rendered with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof with gable stacks. The building has a U-shaped plan, including two projecting wings at the front, and is designed in a classical style. It stands two storeys high and has a symmetrical façade with three windows across the top, all of which are 16-pane sash windows featuring keystones, stepped voussoirs, and cills. The ground floor has two central windows, each with nine panes in plain reveals and cills, along with a central six-panelled and fielded door in a plain opening. A 20th-century conservatory has been added between the two wings. The west side of the house has two 20th-century casement windows, while the east side has one.
At the rear, there are four windows, all of which are two-light casements with four panes on each side. There is a panelled and glazed door to the left and a four-panelled door in the second bay from the right. Inside, the staircase features flat balusters and is a copy of the one from Old Manor, Elberton, Aust. The interior also includes six-panelled doors with panelled cheeks and soffits, plain cornices, and a corridor that separates the living accommodation from the servants' quarters, where the doors are four-panelled.
