Description
Abbey Gate Cottage is a row of three cottages that have been combined into one. It dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and was restored in the 20th century. The building is constructed of brick and features an old plain tile roof, along with areas of fishscale tile. It is one and a half storeys tall and has three bays, with an angled two-bay link to a two-storey, two-bay section at the rear.
The front of the cottage includes a one-storey section on the left-hand side. There are French windows in the center and right-hand bays, a three-light segmental-head casement window in the left-hand bay, and a two-light casement window in the right-hand bay. The right-hand first bay of the angled section features a two-light bowed window on the angle and a high-set small window in the next bay. Above all but this bay, there is a two-light casement window in a hip-roofed dormer.
On the right-hand end of the two-storey section, there are two two-light segmental-head casement windows and a half-glazed door set in a segmental head opening. The first floor has a long six-light window. There is a stack at the right-hand end and a ridge stack over the center of the one-and-a-half-storey range, with a stack located behind the ridge of the two-storey part.
