Aban Court with Attached Wall Gateway and Gate

Aban Court is a house, now converted into flats, dating from approximately 1834, with later additions and alterations including 20th-century infill. It was designed by R.W. and C. Jearrad. The main structure is ashlar faced over brick, with a tile roof and ashlar stacks, notably a full-height stack that projects forward and rear stacks. The architectural style is Tudor Gothic. Originally an irregular U-shaped design, it has been infilled.

The main range has two storeys and an attic, with three bays, and a two-bay range to the right. A ground-floor loggia features four-centred arches, now partially infilled, with an entrance containing a two-part glazed panelled door. The first floor has two two-light mullion windows, one of which has been blocked. Other windows are 1/1 sashes, with a two-light blind window above the projecting stack, featuring a hoodmould and facestops, and the name "ABANCOURT" in Gothic script. The attic has a blind window with a hoodmould on the stack. The range to the right includes a projecting gabled section with a replacement bow window on the ground floor and a three-light mullion window with 1/1 sashes and a hoodmould. A two-storey bay is set into the left gable end. The garden facade is two storeys high, with five first-floor windows, two of which have gabled projections. The ground floor has two four-light mullion and transom windows, three two-light mullion and transom windows, and casements. The first floor has two three-light mullion windows with shields above and hoodmoulds, and three two-light mullion windows, all with 1/1 sashes in chamfered surrounds.

The interior includes an open-well staircase with iron balusters alternately embellished and stick-shaped, and an upper hall with an oval skylight. Original joinery includes six-panel doors, and the plasterwork features egg-and-dart cornices.

Attached to the property are walls approximately 5 metres long to the right, with chamfered copings, and 8 metres in length to the left, leading to a pedestrian gateway with two openings. A double eight-panel studded door, set within a four-centred, chamfered architrave, a cavetto-moulded cornice and a low parapet with copings, provides access to the loggia.

The house was part of the Lansdown development initiated by Pearson Thompson and was built alongside Rokeby Home and Malvern Place, with the garden facades forming a continuous design.
