The Abbey

The Abbey is a house that has been divided into two residences. Originally built in the 16th century, it underwent significant refurbishment during the 17th century, with later alterations and additions. The exterior features roughcast render and a graduated greenslate roof, with three chimneys and an irregular H-plan layout. The south-west elevation is positioned at right angles to the road and includes a 20th-century lean-to porch with a glazed door, along with scattered fenestration featuring 20th-century casements and sashes.

Inside the eastern part of the house, there is a three-bay upper-cruck roof with chamfered curved collars over a hall that was originally open to the roof. An extension has a two-bay king-post roof, and there are re-used beams throughout. The interior also boasts 17th-century panelled doors, a spice cupboard with iron butterfly hinges, and an oak staircase with a closed string, square newels, and turned balusters leading up to the attics. The living room features oak moulded panelling with a heavy cornice, a fire surround, and a cupboard built into the thickness of the wall to the left. The upper floor contains 17th-century doors, one of which has decorative iron hinges, as well as two fireplaces, one of which is adorned with a carved fireplace beam. The property is included mainly for its notable interior features.
