8,10, Great Avenham Street

Nos. 8 and 10 Great Avenham Street are two very small town houses, originally part of a row of six, built around 1820 to 1825 and altered since. They are constructed of red brick in a 4+1 English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof, although part of the roof is covered by damaged felting. Each house has a double-depth plan and is single-fronted, featuring back extensions and a through-lobby between the two houses.

The buildings are two storeys high over cellars and have a four-window range. The doorways, located to the right and accessed by one step, have round-headed architraves with raised moulded rims, moulded imposts, and semi-circular fanlights, with No. 10 featuring radiating glazing bars. The lobby doorway to the right of No. 10 has a wedge lintel and a board door. There is one window at ground floor and two above in each house, with all windows at No. 10 being 4-pane sashes. No. 8 has been altered, but all windows have raised sills, and the ground floor windows feature wedge lintels. There are chimneys on both the front and rear slopes of the roof. The rear and interior were not inspected.

These houses are part of a formerly complete set of late Georgian lower-middle class homes in this street, which was laid out in Great Avenham Field and advertised for sale as building plots in 1825, making them likely among the first constructed in the area.
