Abbey House

Abbey House is a rectory, now a private house, dating to 1693, with alterations in the 19th century. A tablet indicates the original date, and the building is constructed of colourwashed brick, with some parts rendered. The roof is slate-covered. The house is two storeys and an attic, originally five bays long, with a two-storey extension to the rear and a 19th-century service wing behind, to the left.

The south, or garden, front is stuccoed with incised masonry lines and is two storeys and five bays. It features five ground-floor windows, which are 19th-century 15-pane triple-hung sashes, with the sills lowered to the ground. The first floor has five 18th-century 12-pane sashes, with a wide, raised architrave around the central window. A moulded timber cornice and pediment extend over the three central bays, incorporating an oval plaque within the tympanum bearing the date. The slate roof is pitched and has a wide area of flat leadwork along the centre. A chimney stack is visible at the right gable end, near the front, and a large, lengthways positioned stack is near the left end of the lead roof. The right gable has a flat-roofed, square, 19th-century porch in the centre, with a 12-pane sash window above the stack, facing the front. Two small casements are located in the attic, and a casement with a 12-pane sash is above the extension along the rear. There are remains of a terraced garden, which includes a fine cedar and a lime walk running west.
