Priory Cottage Including Garden Wall To The South East

Priory Cottage, which includes a garden wall to the southeast, is a house that dates back to the early 18th century or earlier, with remodeling and extensions made around the 1930s. The building is constructed of roughcast cob and features a thatched roof with a secondary ornamental ridge, hipped at the ends. It has an internal rear lateral stack with a brick shaft and a front right corner stack that dates from the 1930s.

The plan consists of a single depth, three rooms wide. The right (east) end of the cottage is a two-phase addition, with a single-storey lean-to, likely from the 18th century, which was raised to two storeys in the 1930s. There is also a lean-to addition from the 1930s at the left end.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The thatch eaves are eyebrowed over the first-floor windows. The entrance is approximately central, featuring a tiled porch from the 1930s supported by timber posts. The windows are 1930s iron casements with diamond panes, except for the ground floor left window, which has leaded panes. The rear elevation retains two 18th-century windows: one is a two-light window with a moulded pegged frame, and the other is a two-light casement with a pegged frame and square leaded panes.

The garden wall to the southeast is built on stone footings and has corrugated iron coping. Libbet's well is situated below this wall. Inside, both west end rooms feature likely 18th-century cross beams, with the right (east) room having plain beams and the west end room having wane-edged beams. Original plaster remains on both the ground and first floors. The first-floor axial corridor and joinery are from the 1930s and designed in a vernacular style. The roof consists of pegged A-frame trusses with X apexes, characteristic of the early 18th century, and it has substantial battens instead of rafters.
