Priory Farmhouse containing the remains of Dartford Priory Gatehouse
Priory Farmhouse containing the remains of Dartford Priory Gatehouse, Grade II* listed farmhouse and priory remains in Dartford, United Kingdom.
Priory Farmhouse is a working farm dwelling that contains surviving parts of the medieval gateway to Dartford Priory. The building mixes farmhouse features with recognizable pieces of the original gatehouse structure.
The gateway originally belonged to a medieval nunnery and royal residence before being converted into a farmhouse. The site gained protected heritage status in the mid-20th century to preserve its historical elements.
The building shows how medieval religious structures were repurposed for farming after the monasteries closed. Visitors can see where monastic architecture blends into the working countryside.
The farmhouse is a private residence and cannot be visited inside, though the exterior is visible from the public road. You can still observe the preserved gatehouse features and architectural details from outside.
The gateway served both religious and royal purposes, making it more than a typical monastery entrance. This dual use reflects how the site held importance for both the church and the crown during medieval times.
