Description
Priory Lodge is the remaining west wing of a large house known as 'The Priory', which has late medieval origins but is now mostly demolished. Some fragments of the original structure are believed to have been relocated to Corsham. The north front of the current building dates from the early to mid 19th century and features two storeys constructed of ashlar stone. It has a moulded cornice and a parapet, topped with a hipped slate roof.
The façade is divided by three slender Gothic buttresses, each with an offset, which have moulded tops and cusped pointed inset panels. There are two windows on each floor, featuring 4-centred traceried heads set within square-headed openings, and rectangular hood-moulds above. The first-floor windows retain their sashes with Gothic glazing bars, while the ground-floor windows are filled with plate glass, with the bottom halves cut away to accommodate two large garage doors. An external wooden stair leads to the east side, where broken masonry from the demolished parts of the house is still visible.
Priory Lodge, along with its boundary walls, the Priory Barn, and Nos 1A to 3 (consecutive), forms a cohesive group.
