Description

The Abbey Inn, originally known as the Bowling Green Inn, is a house that has been converted into an inn. It dates back to 1702 and has been altered and extended in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, although some brick has been used for the gables. It features a Welsh slated roof with coped gables, moulded kneelers, and end brick stacks.

The inn is two storeys high with attics and has a symmetrical principal elevation. The central doorway is highlighted by a massive lintel and includes a small circular light above it, along with the date and initials. On either side of the door, there are three-light chamfer mullioned windows with 8-pane casements and 20th-century shutters. A continuous drip mould is stepped over the doorway. The first floor has two- and three-light windows, and there are gabled attic dormers with two and three lights, each featuring coped gablets.

The interior has not been inspected. There are subsidiary features including steps at right angles to the building, and the original enclosing wall has been replaced by a raised terrace with a random stone retaining wall topped with 20th-century iron railings.
