Chalice Leaze and Protea

Chalice Leaze and Protea is an early 19th-century stucco house with later additions and alterations, located on Chilkwell Street. The building has two storeys and features slate roofs and a parapet. Plain pilasters frame the front. Among the additions is a late 19th-century one-light window in Venetian style, which has twisted mullions and round-headed lights. The house boasts a very good three-bay early 19th-century trelliswork verandah and balcony with decorative ironwork in the spandrels, along with three sets of paired French windows. No 13b is a two-storey extension to the left, featuring a second Venetian-style window with three lights, similar to the earlier addition. Chalice Leaze and Protea are part of a group that includes Nos 3 and 5, as well as the listed buildings from No 3 to No 17 on the northeast side, Glastonbury Abbey, Abbey House, and the wall surrounding the grounds of the Abbey and Abbey House, all of which form an important group.
