Description

Avalon is a house that features two bays from the 17th century on the right, an early 18th-century bay on the left, and a later lean-to at the left end. The building is made of coursed ironstone rubble and has altered windows. The right bays are topped with a Collyweston slate roof, while the left bay has a Welsh slate roof that replaced the original thatch. The gables are coped, and there is a double chimney between the left bays and a single chimney to the right, both with stone bases and brick shafts. The house is 1.5 storeys high.

The left bay has three wooden casement windows with three lights, featuring wooden lintels, and a door to the left set in an Uppingham stone surround with chamfered jambs. The right bays have two-light wooden casements, with the left ground floor window being older and transomed. Both ground floor windows have Uppingham stone lintels, while the upper windows are in raking semi-dormers. All casements include horizontal glazing bars. There is a small window with a chamfered stone surround in the lean-to, and a 20th-century door in a raised stone surround in the right gable.

Inside, the centre bay has a stop-chamfered spine beam with a moulded bracket at one end and a 19th-century moulded cornice around the fireplace. The outer bays feature chamfered ceiling beams, with the left bay having a chamfered cambered lintel above the fireplace.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
