Description
Abbey House is a mid-19th century house located on the site of a former Clergy House in Crewkerne. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with Ham Hill stone quoins, a plinth, and dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring stepped stone coping and stone stacks. The building has a double-depth plan with a service wing to the right and is designed in the Tudor-Revival style.
The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window range. It features two forward-facing shouldered gables with moulded kneelers, and between them is a corbelled-out oriel window on the first floor, which showcases dagger tracery and a moulded, castellated cornice. Below this window is a diagonally planked and studded door, flanked by single-light, deeply recessed, narrow windows. The other casement windows have label moulds and horizontal glazing bars, with single-light windows in the attics and two-light, 19th-century cross-windows below.
To the right of the main structure is a single-storey gabled wing that contains one tall narrow window. Additionally, a 15th-century stone-mullioned window with leaded lights, originally from the former Chantry House on the site, has been repositioned as a stair-window at the rear. This window features a tall label mould over two lights with cinquefoil heads, and below the label mould are four small trefoil-headed lights. The interior has not been accessed, but it is noted to have 19th-century features.
