Prior House Prior House (Mount Carmel Nursing Home)

Prior House, also known as Mount Carmel Nursing Home, is an 18th-century building located on Quakers Lane. It is two storeys high, constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar bends and quoins, and features a slate roof. The building has five windows in moulded stone frames, with hung sashes that include glazing bars. The garden front showcases a moulded cornice and a small parapet, along with a central pediment. On the ground floor, the windows are full length without glazing bars, and the central window has been converted into a modern door.

The entrance front features a lofty round-headed central window in a stone frame, with a porch entrance supported by reeded engaged Tuscan columns. This porch has a reeded frieze with three panels and a dentil cornice, topped by a semi-circular fanlight. To the right, there is a roughcast wing that is three storeys high and has two windows, also with a slate roof. Prior House, No 40, and the former stables to Prior House form a group.
