About the Building
Listed Building Grade II No: 2452
Grade II listed on 7 May 1952 see https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300002452-no13-nevill-street-gwent-abergavenny
Built around 1730-1750. Double hung sash windows with segmented heads. Glazing bars intact on first & second floor windows only. The mouldings around the windows have been removed. Slate roof.
The imitation joints in the stucco are original and correct. There may have been a projecting string course between the first and second floor windows. The front door is good, originally having moulded architraves which have been replaced. A long extension goes down the garden, the windows overlooking the garden of no 15. This was used as a boys’ school around 1877-1901. (source L Hurley)
