Description
32 Abbey Foregate is a house, now partly used for commercial purposes, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick and features a hipped plain tiled roof. The building has three storeys and a four-window range. The central door is set within a moulded architrave, with an inserted shop front to the left that includes a late 19th century cornice and fascia, along with a late 20th century window. The other windows are long 15-pane sashes, with nine panes in the attic storey, and have flat-arched gauged brick heads. There is a moulded cornice above the first floor and a moulded parapet at the eaves. The building has end wall and axial stacks.
