Description

Nos. 13 and 14 on The Square in Blanchland are a terrace of three houses, now functioning as two, dating from the mid-18th century and incorporating elements from the medieval period. The buildings are constructed from rubble with cut quoins and dressings, topped with a stone slate roof. They are two storeys high and feature three wide bays. The doors on the left of bay 1 (No. 14) and the right of bay 3 (No. 13) have been renewed, while there is a blocked door on the right of bay 2, all set within alternating-block surrounds. The windows have late 19th-century sash frames in older openings with block surrounds. The interior includes a front wall that is a metre thick, likely representing the remains of a medieval range on the east side of the outer court of the abbey.
