The Abbey, Beckington, Grade II* listed country house in Beckington, England.

The Abbey stands as a two-story residence constructed from rubble stone with decorated stone tiles covering the roofs and ashlar masonry chimneys.

Originally established in 1502 as an Augustinian hospital with monks connected to Bath Abbey, the building underwent major alterations during the early 17th century.

The interior features detailed barrel-vaulted plaster ceilings with ornate pendants, strap work, and decorative elements including rose motifs and fleur-de-lis patterns.

The property includes a 100-meter stone boundary wall, entrance gates, and gardens with mature trees, divided into three separate residential units.

The structure evolved from a monastic grange to a college for priests, then transformed into a school, restaurant, and dance hall before its residential conversion.
