Description
Avenham Terrace is a town house built in the 1850s, with some alterations. It features red brick in Flemish bond, sandstone dressings, and a concrete-tile roof. The building has a double-depth plan on a corner site, with a long back extension. It stands two storeys over a cellar, with an ashlar plinth, a first-floor sill-band, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice that wraps around the building.
The façade facing Frenchwood Street has one bay, with the doorway located to the right. This entrance is accessed by three steps and features a doorcase with engaged Ionic columns, an entablature, a cornice, and a blocking course, along with a hollow-moulded surround and an altered door. There is one window on each floor, both with altered glazing, raised sills, and a wedge lintel at the ground floor. The hipped roof currently lacks chimneys.
The left return wall has two bays with similar window arrangements and continues to the rear, where there is a lower back extension with two windows at ground level and three above. The rear and interior were not inspected. This building is part of an early Victorian extension that harmonizes with a previously complete set of late Georgian lower-middle class town houses in the street.
