Description

No. 10 Abbot's Walk is an early 19th-century building, likely constructed around 1840. It features three storeys and a basement, built from silver grey brick. The building has Bath stone strings between the floors and stone window arches, along with wide flat eaves and a slate roof. Brick chimneys with cogged capping are located at each end. The upper floors have three windows, which are plate glass sashes with marginal glazing. The central door on the ground floor is complemented by first-floor windows that have balconies with cast iron rails featuring honeysuckle pattern panels. The front also displays cast iron fleur-de-lys rails.
