Description

Abbey House is a late Georgian, three-storey, three-bay house constructed of brick and rubble, featuring a scribed, rendered facade and roughcast sides. It has a hipped slate roof with tiled ridges and plain, rendered end chimneys. The symmetrical facade includes a central entrance with an early 20th-century wooden porch, which has a tripartite, part-glazed entrance arrangement with a central door and leaded overlights. The ground and first floors have 12-pane unhorned sash windows, while the central first-floor bay features an early 20th-century wooden cross-window with plain glazing. The second floor has 9-pane sashes. The windows are framed by ribbed stucco surrounds with projecting tripartite keystone sections. There is a moulded sill course at the ground floor and dentilated eaves and sill courses at the first and second floors, with dressed sandstone quoins made from reused medieval material.

On the right side, there is a 12-pane sash window with a segmentally-arched head, a 20th-century cross window, and a modern entrance. The first floor has a primary 9-pane sash. The rear of the house features a modern window at the ground floor, with a 12-pane sash and a 6-pane sash at the first and second floors, respectively, along with another modern window at the second floor.

Adjoining the rear is a lower L-shaped service addition, built in a similar style but incorporating earlier elements. It has plain casements with segmental heads and an entrance on the north side via a single-storey early 20th-century porch, which is positioned in the angle with the main block. There is also a single-storey brick lean-to on the northeast side.

Inside, the entrance hall has a late Victorian encaustic tiled floor and a staircase leading off, featuring moulded architraves and four-panel Victorian doors. The staircase is a full-height narrow well type, with columnar newels and stick balusters made of pine. The rear service section contains some rough exposed beams that date back to the 17th century. There are early 20th-century fireplaces, including a notable lugged wooden fireplace in late 17th-century style in the principal first-floor room. Additionally, there is a contemporary brick-vaulted two-bay wine cellar, which is now accessed externally from the garden and includes some slate bins.
