Description
Dynevor House, originally known as Paunfort Lodge, is a three-storey house dating from 1725. It was initially constructed for Simon Urlin, a prosperous individual who owned the large garden that was later incorporated into Avenue House. The avenue formerly led directly to Dynevor House. The house is built of red brick, with a chequered pattern using blue brick. It features a finely moulded brick cornice below a plain parapet with stone coping.
The East front (entrance front) has seven windows in broad, flush frames. The lower edges of the flat red brick arches over the upper two floors are slightly recessed to create a series of delicate curves, a detail also found at No 1 Bedford Street. The brick cornice extends around the North, East, and South sides of the building. A boldly projecting wooden cornice with large modillions is located above the first floor on the West (garden) front. Above this cornice, the second floor is suggested only at the ends with two blank windows, and over the three central windows, the parapet curves down to a lower level. The South front (street front) has three windows, with the central window on each floor being blank. The original entrance door, situated in the centre of the East front, has boldly fielded panels, brass furniture, and is set within a finely carved wooden frame featuring fluted pilasters and an elaborate classical entablature with triglyphs and modillions.
Dynevor House, along with Nos 34 and 36, Little Dynevor, and Nos 1 to 7 (consecutive) Feoffee Almshouses, forms a group with the Parish Church of St Andrews.
