Description
1 and 2 Prospect Avenue is a house dating from around 1710, which was converted into a public house around 1830 and later changed into two houses in 1905. The building is timber framed and faced with brick, with a clay-lump rear outshut added around 1870. It has a pantiled roof and features a lobby entrance plan.
The structure is two storeys high with a two-window range. The central entrance has a half-glazed door, with a two-light casement window to the left and a similar door to the right, accompanied by a three-light casement window on its left. On the first floor, there are two two-light casements, one of which was replaced in 1955, while the other retains details from around 1870. The roof is steeply pitched with a gabled design and a central ridge stack. The rear of the building includes a full-length clay lump outshut on a brick plinth, and the rear roof slope has a flat-topped dormer that was inserted in 1955.
Inside, the ground floor has partly exposed timber studwork and features two heavy bridging beams that end in tongue stops. The inglenook fireplaces have been blocked and fitted with early 20th-century tiled fireplaces. Number 2 has a 18th-century plank rear door with strap hinges leading into the outshut, and a straight staircase to the right (west) of the stack. The first floor has similar bridging beams, and the roof structure includes principal and common rafters, one tier of clasped purlins, cambered collars, and a ridge piece.
