Description

2 Abbey Square is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble with a slate roof and brick chimney stacks, some of which have been renewed. The building consists of Nos 2 and 4, which feature two-storey, one-window fronts with small pane casement windows in the Gothick style, some of which have been renewed. The ground floor has cambered lintels and modern half-glazed porches. No 1, located to the left, is a single-storey building with an attic, stepped down from Nos 2 and 4. It has a two-window front with attic gables and casement windows that have brick cills below the eaves. The ground floor includes a four-pane sash window, a lean-to porch or conservatory, and a half-glazed door. There is a modern extension at the rear.

At the left end, the building continues to a gable end that faces Abbey Road. Above the modern shop front of the Riverside newsagents, there is a four-pane sash window in the gable. The shops on either side are not included in this listing. Inside Nos 2 to 4, there are light chamfered beams.
