Dwelling At Right Angles To Rear Of No3; Wall And Gate Piers The Abbey The Grange

This is a large house, originally a single dwelling, now divided into three separate properties and dating back to around 1500. It was substantially altered in the early 17th century, with 19th-century additions and further subdivision in the mid-20th century. The house is constructed of random rubble with stone tile roofs, with tiles to the rear wings, and features ashlar stacks topped with moulded caps.

The original house was a cross-passage hall house with a solar wing, later expanded to form a U-shaped plan with an irregular gabled facade. The main facade has two storeys and attics, arranged in a 2:4:1 bay layout. There are tall two-light mullion and transom windows, with particular emphasis on the left-hand bay which has a single relieving arch below a two-light mullioned window and a pair of three-light mullion windows above, each light featuring a four-centred head and a single two-light mullioned window to the attic. The central bays also have two-light mullion and transom windows, while the right-hand bay has similar windows to the ground floor and a very large six-light mullion and transom window above. All windows have hollow-moulded surrounds and contain glazing bar casements. A door opening is located to the left of the central bays, leading to a double half-glazed door within a moulded, four-centred stone surround. A parapet with coping runs between the gables. A single-storey, flat-roofed extension of two bays has been added to the left, featuring reproduction two-light mullion and transom windows. The irregular right return is of equal importance to the front facade, with predominantly two-light hollow-moulded stone-mullioned windows with leaded lights. A recessed door opening is set within a massive four-centred stone surround, leading to a studded plank door.

The interior is of particular importance, boasting a coved plaster ceiling on the first floor of the Abbey section with elaborate strapwork and five pendants, and a flat ribbed plaster ceiling in an upper room to the rear. Linenfold wainscote panelling lines the main staircase. The Grange section has a notably wide fireplace with an arched lintel in a ground floor room, and another room features a panelled plaster ceiling radiating from a central rose decoration, including pomegranates and fleur-de-lis motifs, with linenfold panelling in the passageway and a plastered archway adorned with satyr heads. A fireplace with a fair-centred stone surround is found in a left-hand room on the first floor. Further significant interior features are also present. The building may have originally been a hospice founded by Augustinian Canons in 1502.
