Abbeyway

No. 18 Abbeyway is a house located in Wymondham, dating from the mid-18th century with early 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of brick and flint, topped with a roof of black glazed pantiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in three bays. The central entrance features a panelled door with a five-vaned fanlight and glazed spandrels, framed by a timber doorcase that has a reeded frieze and a flat hood. The windows are sash style with metal glazing bars, set beneath gauged skewback arches. The gabled roof includes internal gable-end stacks, and the gable ends display significant flintwork. The rear of the house shows evidence of blocked windows, including one ground-floor sash and a glazed door, along with three casements on the first floor and two flat-topped dormers in the roof. Inside, there is an entrance passage that was originally a groin-vaulted narthex leading to a staircase, which has since been relocated to the south end and features stick balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail.
