Description

These are two timber-framed houses that were re-fronted in the 18th century. They are two storeys high with an attic, and have a tiled gabled roof which is M-shaped at the northern end, with a wing extending behind. The front of the building has a rough-cast finish. Each house has two windows and one hipped dormer window. The windows are three-light casement windows, with one two-light casement window on the ground floor of number 50. There are four flush-panelled doors set in shallow reveals, each with a frame and a small flat hood supported by shaped brackets. Numbers 50 to 52 Abbey Street, along with The Anchor Inn, form a group with numbers 1 and 2 Abbey Road.
