Description
The Priests House is a former priest's residence that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with a 20th-century addition. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone with ashlar dressings, featuring one stone and one blue brick chimney, and a stone slate roof, while the 20th-century addition has an artificial stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and consists of two rooms, along with a single-storey addition that also has an attic.
The front of the house has a variety of window placements, with a doorway that is off-center, featuring a timber lintel and a partly glazed plank door. There are two 2-light chamfered mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, and a timber casement with a timber lintel located immediately to the right of the door. On the upper floor, there are two 2-light windows with Tudor-arched heads, and a timber casement with a timber lintel to the left. The roof includes two dormer windows. There is a blocked Tudor-arched doorway on the upper floor at the west end, which was previously accessed by steps, as well as a blocked chamfered opening to the attic above. A ridge-mounted chimney was added in the 19th century.
The rear of the house is built into a bank and features a projection with a catslide roof and a small window with a chamfered surround on the side. The upper floor has a 2-light chamfered mullioned window without a hood and a small casement with a stone lintel to the right. At a low level, there is a 20th-century casement with a timber lintel. The east gable end has a rebuilt stone chimney at the ridge and a 20th-century addition with artificial stone lintels for the 20th-century casements.
Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to have an arched braced roof in the former upper floor hall and an internal Tudor-arched doorway with carved spandrels. The building is situated in the southeast corner of the churchyard.
