Abbey House, Grade II listed building in Barnwell, Cambridge, England.
Abbey House stands as a two-story residence with attics at the intersection of Beche Road and Abbey Road, featuring a Dutch-style gable and period paneling.
The house, constructed in the 17th century on the site of Barnwell Priory, incorporates sections from three different periods and retains a 40-yard medieval stone wall.
Jacob Butler, who inherited the property in 1714, maintained a tradition of hosting annual gatherings for Cambridge Mayor and Corporation with elaborate feasts.
The property contains architectural elements from multiple centuries, including original timber framing in the southern section and an expanded brick addition from 1678.
Local records document numerous supernatural occurrences, including sightings of a Grey Lady nun and appearances of Jacob Butler with his dog in the building.
