Avenue Farm House

Avenue Farm House is a farmhouse that dates back to the late medieval period for its northern wing, with the eastern wing built around 1700, possibly involving a remodel of an older structure. The building features a timber frame that is cased in brick, while the eastern wing is primarily constructed of dark red brick with black headers and light red brick dressings and arches. The roofs are steep and covered with old red tiles, and the eastern wing has a half-hipped roof.

The northern wing, which faces south, is two stories tall and includes a large internal chimney at the junction of the wings, along with a gabled stair projection to the north of the chimney. A larger stair tower was added later at the angle where the new or remodeled eastern wing meets the northern wing. The eastern wing also has two stories and attics, featuring a central passage and two rooms on each floor, with rear wall chimneys that project externally.

The symmetrical eastern front has five windows and a central entrance. It includes three flat-topped dormer windows on the steep roof slope, and the eaves cornice is widely projecting with wooden modillions. The windows are flush box sash types with gauged flat arches, having 6/6 panes on the first floor and 6/9 panes in the taller ground floor windows. Access to the entrance is via three moulded stone steps with splayed iron handrails leading to a six-panel divided door, where the upper panels are fielded and the bottom panels are flush beaded. The entrance also features a semi-circular fanlight with a radial fan, set within a pilastered Doric doorcase that has a dentilled entablature and a triangular open pediment.

Inside, there is an early 18th-century stair that provides somewhat awkward access to the attic, and the northern room on the ground floor has original paneling and a fireplace, accessible from the stone-floored entrance. The name "Avenue Farm House" refers to the broad mature beech avenue that extends to the east of the house, aligned with its eastern front.
