Abbey Terrace

Abbey Terrace is a terrace of four houses built in the early 19th century in Tewkesbury. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brickwork with a tile roof and brick stacks. They are double-depth plans, three storeys and attic in height, each with a single window front. Most windows are 4-pane sashes set within slightly cambered brick arches, with stone sills. House number 7 has two 16-pane sashes, believed to represent the original window arrangement. A square, flat-roofed bay window is present at ground floor level of number 6, and a canted hipped lead bay window is found at number 8. Small, 2-light casement windows with gabled dormers are visible on the attics of numbers 5, 6, and 7. Doors are located at the outer party walls in pairs; number 5 has a 6-panel door within a pilaster surround topped with a flat gabled hood, number 6 has a 6-panel door, and numbers 7 and 8 have 20th-century glazed doors. Two plain brick strings run horizontally across the facades, and there are two square ridge stacks. Each house has a lower back wing; the wing to number 8 is a deep two-story projection. Each property also features a triple-gabled dormer window, and an eaves stack. The interior has not been inspected. These houses are on a grander scale than the rest of the terrace and were likely a rebuild of an earlier property.
