Description

No. 4 Abbey Green is a house, now used for mixed purposes, dating from the mid-18th century and altered in the late 18th century. It is designed in the style of Thomas Jelly. The building is constructed of Bath limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof.

The house has a double depth plan and stands three storeys tall with an attic. The exterior includes two windows with architraves, and the first-floor windows have a cornice, featuring six-over-six sash windows typical of the late 18th century. The ground floor has a central eight-over-eight sash window in plain reveals, flanked by doors: one side has two panels and eight panes, while the other side has six panels, all beneath a continuous timber lintel and a platband above. The building is topped with a crowning cornice and parapet, and the mansard roof has a flat-topped dormer with a six-over-six sash window. There is an ashlar stack with pots on the ridge to the left and another stack at the rear to the right.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this house may have been a re-fronting of an earlier structure, as its design shares similarities with mid-18th century houses created by Thomas Jelly.
