Stonesfield-slate roof with ashlar stacks. L plan. 2 storeys plus attic.

middle bay, but has C19 mullioned windows in the outer bays and in the short
wing which projects from the left; entrance between bays one and 2 has a C19/C20
stone porch and there is a second rubble porch in the angle of the ranges. Wing,
which is probably C17, is of squared rubble with a chamfered plinth.
Steep-pitched roof has 2 ridge stacks over the main range and a gable stack on
the wing, all with moulded caps and plinths. Sides and rear have further renewed
mullioned windows, all with lattice glazing. Interior: main range has heavy
chamfered cross beams, morticed for wide joists, which are probably late
medieval and may be insitu; an open fireplace has a cambered bressumer, and a
Tudor-arched stone fireplace has recessed spandrels and ogee mouldings, repeated

open fireplace. Butt-purlin roof has cambered collars. The house is on the site
of Cold Norton Priory, a smell Augustinian foundation, the ruins of which are
