3, Abbey Green

No. 3 Abbey Green is a house dating from around 1700, with alterations made in the late 18th century. It is constructed of rough rubblestone, which is no longer rendered, and features a pantile roof. The rear wall is timber-framed and rendered. The building has a double depth plan with parallel ranges and a double gable front that includes a central entrance.

The house stands two storeys high with attics in the gables and a basement. The front is unbalanced, featuring a single window to the left and three equally spaced windows to the right of the centre. It has long and short flush quoins and raised dressings around the windows. The doorway is framed by an architrave with heavy wave moulding, leading to a panelled door with a rectangular light above. Wrought-iron railings are present at the ground floor. The windows are predominantly six-over-six sashes typical of the late 18th century, although the left-hand ones are eight-over-eight, and the basement windows are plain glazed in chamfered openings. A moulded cornice band runs above the first floor. Each gable has two small three-over-six sashes, with a larger three-over-six sash located between them. The gables are coped and project forward from the main roof, which runs parallel to the street, and there are stone end stacks with pots. The rear of the house features a full-height parallel range, with a single two-over-two sash in the end wall and a two-light mullioned window with a drip-mould in the attic.

The interior has not been inspected. The house does not appear on Gilmore's Map of 1694, suggesting it was built shortly after that date. The irregular front, made of rough masonry, may have originally been rendered.
