Abbeyfield House

Abbeyfield House is a house that has been converted into a training centre and offices. It was built around 1850, with additions made around 1880 and some alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs featuring two ridge stacks—one coped and one capped—as well as a coped side wall stack.

The exterior includes a plinth, a first-floor band, a sill band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The house is two storeys high and has a five-window range. On the entrance front, to the left, there is a projecting gable with a 12-pane sash window that has a moulded surround and a cornice supported by brackets. Below this is a canted stone bay window with a hipped roof and five round-headed lights. To the right of the gable, there are three plain sash windows followed by a round-arched single-pane window. In the return angle to the left, there is a portico with a full entablature and Ionic columns, which covers a late 20th-century half-glazed door with a fanlight. To the right of the portico, there are two plain sash windows followed by another round-arched single-pane window.

On the right return, there are three windows, with a recessed centre featuring a plain sash flanked by canted two-storey bay windows. Below this is a projecting wooden doorcase with a pediment and a late 20th-century flush door, along with sidelights and a glazing bar overlight. A larger four-sided bay window available for letting has three plain sashes on each floor. The left return features an inscribed stone sundial from 1883, which has a pedimented stone surround and apron, along with a smaller bay window to the right that has three plain sashes on each floor.

The interior has not been inspected. The gardens surrounding the house have been a public park since 1909.
