Rather resembling a Victorian fantasy, it is in fact a house of 1578-82, when it was built for a lawyer, Richard Prince. Its red sandstone is supposedly reused from the Abbey. A gabled gatehouse stands between the house and street. Grade II* listed. A window at top right was boarded up, but the building appears to have been converted to flats.
