Abbeyside

Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1810 onto east gable of medieval Franciscan friary and onto rear of earlier three-bay two-storey house. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls with render quoins to front block and pebble-dashed to rear block. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows throughout, paired to end bays of both blocks, having segmental-headed openings to front blocks with over-lights, and square-headed openings to rear block, with stone sills, continuous to end bays of rear block. Segmental-arch door opening to front with timber panelled door, cobweb fanlight and sidelights, and round-headed doorway to rear with cobweb fanlight. Garden to front with decorative cast-iron railings and gate. Rear yard accessed through gateway with rendered piers and cast-iron gates. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to yard with pitched corrugated-iron roof, rendered stone walls and having segmental-arch carriage entrance and square-headed doors and windows.

This house's complex form and setting back from the street in the midst of larger buildings make it an interesting and notable contributor to the streetscape. It retains interesting features such as the segmental-arch openings, cast-iron railings and fine entrance. It is built against the east gable of the medieval Franciscan friary.
