The Priory

The Priory is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with origins that trace back to the late medieval period, and it has had additions made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring some flared headers, and has a hipped plain tile roof with brick ridge and lateral stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a four-window range.

The main façade facing the garden includes a glazed door positioned to the left of centre, which is sheltered by a 20th-century verandah that extends to a 20th-century bay window on the far right. Between these, there is a 16-pane sash window and a similar window on the far left. The centre of the façade shows a straight joint, with 12-pane sashes on the right side of the first floor and 16-pane sashes on the left. The façade is detailed with a plinth, a stone storey band, and gauged brick lintels with stone keyblocks to the right of centre, while timber lintels are present to the left.

On the right side elevation, there is an attic window featuring 2- and 3-light leaded casements with old catches and timber lintels. The left half of the front is a 20th-century addition, while the older half has a stone wall at the rear and a 6-panel door within a 20th-century timber porch.

Inside, the property contains two doorways from the early 16th century, each with 4-centred arched heads adorned with quatrefoils and mouchettes in the spandrels, likely part of a group of three doors located at the service end of the ground floor or in a full-height hall. The interior also features moulded and chamfered spine beams, along with an open fireplace that has a chamfered bressumer.
