Abbey Farm House

Abbey Farm House is a house with early 16th century origins, featuring a floor that was inserted, a raised stack, and a parlour added in the early to mid 17th century. It underwent alterations in the early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof. It has a three-cell lobby entry plan, with a parlour and entrance bay added to a small, likely partially open core. The house is two storeys high with an attic.

The entrance is located to the left of centre and features an early nine-panelled door with studded and moulded rails and muntins, set within an early 19th century reeded doorcase. The windows include transomed four-light ovolo moulded casements with leaded panes; the ground floor window to the right is from the 17th century, as is the smaller four-light ovolo mullioned window above the entrance. The axial ridge stack has four clustered hexagonal shafts with a moulded base and capping. The left gable end has an early four-light ovolo mullioned attic window with a cornice, while the right gable end features a three-light attic window that was part of a former cheese loft, an added external stack, and a one-storey gabled outbuilding from the 19th or 20th century with an entrance and a stack.

At the rear, the early bays have an oversailing upper storey, with a bressumer fixed with iron studs that reflect the original eaves level. There are 20th century casements, a bay window, and a three-light raking dormer. The parlour addition projects slightly and includes an early three-light ovolo mullioned window above a boarded door, French windows, and a transomed four-light casement to the right.

Inside, the parlour features close studding, a triple ovolo moulded axial binding beam, and first-floor cavetto and ovolo moulded rendered brick fireplace arches. The hall has a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam and a reset chamfered axial binding beam on the first floor with elaborate bar stops. The roof has double purlins throughout, with lower butt purlins and upper purlins clasped by cranked collars and halved principals.
