Description
Priory Farm is a house and cottage that is believed to have once been a chapel. The house features a dated stone plaque above the front door that reads 'ANO DO/1614 RO/BARTE WHYTM/ARGRIT/WHYT'. The cottage dates from the 17th century. The house is built of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a concrete tile roof and limestone gable coping, and has ashlar stacks. The cottage has a limestone slate roof with flat gable coping on the left and a stump of an ashlar stack. The cottage is made of small coursed limestone rubble, with larger squared blocks at the right end indicating significant rebuilding.
The house has a rectangular main body with a late 19th to early 20th century extension at the rear left and a rectangular two-room cottage staggered forward and attached on the right. The house is two storeys high with two windows, featuring four and five-light stone-mullioned windows with stopped hoods and 20th-century casements. There is a plank door with decorative hinges set in a flat chamfered Tudor arched surround, located off centre to the right. A stopped hood is positioned over the date plaque, and there is a large scratch sundial on the right gable end. The flat limestone gable coping levels out at the eaves, with a roll-cross saddle on the left. The right gable end has a triple flue stack, while the off-centre left has a twin flue stack, both with moulded caps and skirtings.
The cottage has one window, a 19th-century three-light stone-mullioned casement, with a similar 17th-century window below it. There is a 19th-century plank door with a segmental head located off centre to the right, and a two-light 19th-century stone-mullioned casement to the right of the door. All windows in the cottage facade feature diamond leaded lights. The rear wall has a single round-headed window made from a single stone slab, which is a single light with an ogee cusped head above. Both windows may have been reused. The left side has flat gable coping and a stump of a central stack. The current building is unlikely to have served as a chapel, as it is oriented north-south. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
