Description
Abbey House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1700, with 18th century, 19th century, and mid-20th century additions and alterations. It was renovated in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has steep pitched concrete tile roofs. The rear wings, which are now rendered, may have originally had timber framed first floors.
The house features an off-centre coped brick ridge stack and two similar gable stacks, along with one truncated gable stack and quoins. It is two storeys high with a U-plan layout and a three-window range. The windows are mainly late 20th century glazing bar casements with segmental heads. The front of the house has a datestone, possibly reset, inscribed "ARE 1700". There are three unequally spaced casements, with the right one being larger. The central door is flanked by a single window to the left. In the return angle to the left, there is a mid-20th century square porch with a door and a round arched window under a crenellated parapet. The right gable is coped, and the right rear wing features dentillated eaves. At the rear, there is a catslide roof with a 20th century raking dormer over a single storey projection to the right. This building stands on the site of a house belonging to Premonstratensian canons.
