Description
11 The Avenue is a former doctor's surgery and house, now a house, built in the early to mid-18th century by John Carr for Edwin Lascelles, 1st Lord Harewood. The building is constructed of punch-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It has a double-depth design with three storeys and flanking two-storey wings, presenting a five-bay symmetrical facade.
The facade includes a first-floor sill-band and an eaves band that extends across the central three bays, topped with an open-pedimented gable. The central and outer bays feature giant semicircular-arched recesses, with the voussoirs aligned to the stone courses. The central doorway is framed by a shouldered swept architrave, consoles, and a casement-moulded cornice, leading to a partly-glazed door with an overlight. This doorway is flanked by deep 15-pane sash windows, with square 9-pane sashes above and smaller 6-pane sashes on the second floor. The taller 12-pane central sash breaks into the tympanum of the pedimented gable, which has cyma-moulded coping. The outer bays contain paired 15-pane sashes with ashlar lintels and sills, along with small 9-pane segmental-arched windows set in an arch above. The wings have hipped roofs and there are three ashlar stacks on the rear pitch, along with a gable stack on the rear right gable of a more utilitarian back range.
The right-hand return features a tall 21-pane sashed stair window to the left of the doorway, with monolithic jambs. Inside, the ground-floor rooms retain 18th-century plaster cornices but have 19th-century fireplaces. There is a simple 19th-century dog-leg staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail, while the 18th-century stair to the attic has gun-barrel turned balusters. The attic rooms contain 18th-century stone fireplaces with architraves and decorative cast-iron grates. This building is part of Carr's original model village.
