Description

The Priest's House is a presbytery built in coursed grey lias rubble with red brick dressings and chimneys, topped with a recently replaced red tile roof. It has an L-shaped plan featuring an octagonal clasping corner tower. The entrance wing faces High Street, while the rear wing looks out onto Castle Street.

The entrance wing includes a long, four-light timber window with four-pane lights and a trefoil above, all under a common elliptical head, and features a red brick cill band. This window slightly projects and rises to a gable. The upper floor has a similar window without the elliptical head, and the gable showcases vertical timber framing with render and scalloped bargeboards. The next bay contains a replacement door with an overlight under an elliptical head, and above it is a single light window as previously described. The roof gable on this side rests on the corner tower, which has three visible faces, each featuring a single light window on each floor, with corbelled red brick bands between the floors and a conical roof.

The High Street frontage is complemented by a dwarf stone wall capped with glazed red bricks and topped with a decorative wrought iron fence and gates, all of which are contemporary to the building. The wing facing Castle Street has a wall chimney on the left and a gable on the right, with two single light arched windows on the ground floor and a three-light window beneath the timber framed gable, as seen before. The rear elevation has not been inspected.
