Description
119 and 120 Abbey Foregate are a pair of houses built around 1840. They are constructed from buff brick and feature a Welsh slate roof. The buildings are two storeys tall, with a basement and attic, and have a four-window range, with the outer gabled bays set forward. Each house has paired six-panelled doors with overlights in a porch that features round-arched doorways between the projecting outer bays. The ground floor has leaded canted bay windows in the gables, with pilasters marking the angles beside a single 12-pane sash window. Above, there are 12-pane sash windows set in moulded stone architraves with shallow pedimented heads, and simple moulded architraves over the central windows. The gable apexes include round-arched attic windows, and there are axial stacks located behind the gables.
