The Priory, Railings And Carriage Entrance Gates

The Priory is a mid-18th century house with associated railings and carriage entrance gates. The house is constructed of ashlar with a stone slate roof, and features wrought-iron railings and gates. It is three storeys high and five bays wide. The ground floor has a central part-glazed door set within a moulded architrave with a keystone. This is flanked by 19th-century canted bay windows with sash windows featuring glazing bars and lead roofs. A carriage entrance is located in the fifth bay, featuring a segmental arch with a keystone, and gates with a guilloche motif to the low mid-rail and arrow finials. The upper floors have four-pane sash windows set within projecting surrounds, each with a keystone and sill band. A moulded cornice runs along the top of the building, with shaped kneelers and ashlar copings. Chimneys are located at the end left and between bays four and five. In front of the first four bays are railings featuring alternating straight and wavy bars with pointed tops, marked with small urn finials. The railings are supported by an ashlar plinth. Plain ashlar gate piers are also present.
