Description
Avenue Farmhouse North is a farmhouse that underwent remodelling in the late 19th century, originally a single-storey building from the 18th century. It is constructed from snecked tooled stone with tooled-and-margined dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and three slightly irregular bays. The right bay contains a five-panel door and a small casement window, while the left side has 16-pane sash windows and 12-pane shortened sashes above. The left gable is coped, and there is a stepped-and-corniced stack at the left end, along with a rebuilt rendered ridge stack. The left return displays a four-pane sash window with a nine-pane sash above it. The rear elevation reveals rubble from the original 18th-century house on the ground floor. This farmhouse is included for its group value. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension at the rear left is not of special interest.
