Fabia

Fabia is part of a house that dates from the early 19th century and incorporates an earlier fragment. It was extended in the early 20th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a facade made of gault brick laid in Flemish bond, and it has a roof covered with handmade red plain tiles. It has a square plan facing southwest, featuring a stair hall on the left and one room on the right with a rear stack. The two-storey structure has an original bowed tripartite sash window on the ground floor with 4-12-4 lights. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century casement windows in the original openings. The half-glazed door is recessed within the facade and has panelled jambs and soffit, with flat arches of gauged brick above the door and both first-floor windows.

Above the ground-floor bow, there is a shallow bowed balcony with a moulded soffit and a cast iron railing featuring panels of diaper design, all of which are original. The building has a plain parapet with stone coping, with the left roof concealed by the parapet and the right roof hipped. The original staircase has moulded treads and tread-ends, stick balusters, slender cast iron newels, and a wreathed handrail. The stair rises in one half-U flight to the first floor, where a gallery with a similar balustrade extends forward and across the front to a blocked door into St. Mary's House on the left. There is a niche with a domical head in the curved wall at the top of the stair. The rear wall has heavy studding and girt exposed internally, and some weatherboarding is enclosed by the roof of the early 20th-century extension.

Inside, there is a 20th-century grate in the ground-floor room and an early Victorian cast iron grate in the first-floor room, which features reflector splays and acorn and fleur-de-lys motifs in low relief, set in a moulded wooden surround. In the right wall of the first-floor room, there is a rare CL9 folding bed with a wall panel that hinges to form a tester, a laced canvas bed, and built-in cupboards on each side. This feature is likely original to the house and is lined with 19th-century wallpaper in good condition.
