Description
Priorswood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the late 17th century, with alterations and extensions in the late 19th century. It is constructed of buff-coloured brick in Flemish and various English bond, with corbelled brick eaves, quoins, and a clay tile roof with stone-coped gable ends. Brick gable and axial stacks are also present.
The original plan comprised a two-room main range with a central entrance and a two-storey porch, a small two-story service wing at the rear, and a service wing to the north-east continuing the main range with a lower wing to the front, creating an L-shaped plan. In the late 19th century, the north-east service wing was partially rebuilt, and a two-bay wing was added to the south-west end.
The symmetrical, three-bay north-west front features three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, set within cambered red brick arches. A C20 attic casement is on the left side. A central, gabled, two-storey porch has a round arch doorway with a keystone and imposts; small squints are set into the side walls, and the inner door is planked with wrought-iron hinges. To the left, a wing with a hipped slate canopy over the porch angle has an external staircase leading to a first-floor doorway. A late 19th century brick wing is situated on the right side, with large four-pane sashes. The rear elevation (south-east) features two and three-pane casements with horizontal glazing bars and cambered red brick arches, along with a two-story, gable-ended wing at the centre, a late 19th century brick wing on the left, and a service range on the right with a rebuilt gable end.
The interior retains much of the original joinery, including the main staircase with moulded balusters and a heavy handrail, panelled window shutters, plank doors with wrought-iron hinges, and the roof structure. The late 19th century wing incorporates a Victorian staircase and fireplaces.
