Description
The former Avenue Hospital, probably built for the Prickett family in 1714, was later used as a hospital and converted into apartments in 1993. The brick front is of three storeys and was altered in the early 19th century, but retains original giant brick pilasters at the angles. It has a stone-capped parapet and brick stacks at the gable ends. There are five windows with moulded brick flying cornices, which are repeated on the pilasters at the first floor level. A stone portico from the early 19th century, in the Greek Doric style, features a full entablature and leads to a six-panel door with side lights via three steps. Rainwater heads are present, displaying a crest and the date 1714, alternating with rosettes on the clamps.
Internally, some of the panelling has been relocated to Bridlington High School, but several chimney pieces and good plasterwork ceilings remain.
The rear elevation features two full-height bows, each lit by two windows on each storey. The gardens are believed to have been designed by Paxton. A western service wing was raised around 1820, which is three storeys lower, with stone eaves. This wing has four windows with rusticated heads on the ground and first floors, a band at the first-floor cills, and irregular ground-floor windows. Console brackets support the eaves.
The site, including numbers 7 to 31 (odd), the former Avenue Hospital, stables, and wall, forms a group. Number 21 (incorporating the former number 19) is of local interest.
