Description
Abbott's Ladies Home is a pair of almshouses built around 1870 by F. Swindon-Barber. The buildings are constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and feature slate roofs with ashlar coped gables topped with finials. There are two tall ridge stacks, a chamfered plinth, and a first floor band. The structure is two storeys high and has four windows.
The design includes two slightly projecting central gables, each with two 4-light chamfered cross mullion windows. Above these are two 3-light chamfered mullion windows with wooden transoms and ashlar hoods, all fitted with glazing bar casements. On either side of the central gables are single doorways, which have moulded ashlar bow-headed surrounds and part glazed 6-panel doors, with narrow windows beyond. Above these doorways are single lancet windows with moulded heads.
