Abbey Farmhouse

Abbey Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was partly built over the ruins of a former Augustinian Priory. It dates from the 17th century, with an early 19th-century addition. The 17th-century section is constructed from galletted whole flint and has pantiles, featuring three bays and two storeys. There is a chimney bay to the east with a high gable parapet, although the stack has been removed and the shaft renewed.

On the south facade, there is an off-centre left axial stack with a chimney bay. The part quoins near the left chimney bay are made of alternating flints and brick, and there is a blocked first-floor window in the middle chimney bay. The ground floor includes a door to the left, a casement window, and a triple casement. The first floor has two sash windows and a casement.

To the west, there is a single bay, double-depth, two-storey addition that extends to the north. This addition is rendered and colourwashed, with an unglazed black pantile hipped roof featuring wide eaves, a plat band, and a plinth. The south front has a blank opening on the first floor and a sash window with glazing bars on the ground floor of the west return, which also has two sashes on both the ground and first floors.

At the rear, there is an early 19th-century addition of two bays extending to the left, which includes a double-leaved part-glazed door with no surround to the left, a sash window with glazing bars above, and a blank window above to the right. There is also a 19th-century outshut extension of the dairy to the 17th-century range, constructed in flint and brick mosaic, which continues the line of the early 19th-century addition to the left. The rear of the 17th-century range is made of coursed flint with former openings blocked in galletted whole and knapped flint, and it has early 20th-century casements and a door to the left.

There is a single bay, one-storey forward wing to the left, built over the ruins of the Priory, made of flint and brick mosaic. To the north, there is a range of 19th-century outhouses. Inside, there is a wide chimney stack between the second and third bays, with a timber-studded partition by the stack on the first floor. A straight staircase leads to the passage between the 17th-century range and the early 19th-century addition, featuring an open string with a ramped pine handrail and square-sectioned balusters, along with panelled doors and doorway reveals in the early 19th-century addition.
