Description
The Priory, with attached walls and railings, is a detached house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a tiled roof with coped verges and gable end stone stacks. The building is two stories high with an attic and has three windows across the front. There is a central blocked doorway with an inserted mullioned casement, a three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement to the left, and an early 18th-century two-light mullioned casement also to the left. A moulded string course runs along the first floor, where there are two two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casements with hoodmoulds. The attic features three full gabled dormers, each with two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casements, hoodmoulds, coped verges, and ball finials.
To the right of the front is a 20th-century two-storey extension with a flat roof. The left side has a two-light mullioned casement, while the rear has similar windows and four hipped attic dormers with two-light wooden casements. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in November 1985, but it is reported to contain a room with late 17th-century wainscot panelling. The front of the property is bordered by stone dwarf walls with cast-iron railings and octagonal stone gate piers topped with ball finials, along with a cast-iron gate. The building is named after a priory of French Carthusian monks who settled in Coombe during the French Revolution.
