The Priory

The Priory is a mid-19th century building constructed on earlier foundations, featuring alterations and additions. It is made of light cream stock brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, designed in a 'Tudor' style with square windows that include stone mullions and transoms. The entrance front has a second storey added to the original entrance hall, which features an oak door with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. There is also an octagonal staircase tower with four vertically arranged windows at the front and a castellated parapet. The third storey is partly an attic with dormers. The south elevation is adorned with a gable framed by twin octagonal turrets, each topped with castellated parapets. Inside, one of the ground floor rooms contains a late 18th century marble fireplace with colonnettes and what appears to be an ex situ centerpiece depicting the Annunciation.
