Avon House

Avon House is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the late 18th century, with some early 19th-century additions, and was restored in 1985. The building features squared and coursed rubble in the basement, with a rendered exterior and ashlar dressings, including an ashlar east bay. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, and there are mid-roof ashlar stacks, along with a wrought-iron gate.

The house is two stories tall with a basement and has five window ranges. The north facade facing the road has an irregular arrangement of windows, including two 2-storey, 3-light canted bays with plate-glass sashes. The central bay has wooden frames, while the eastern bay has plain ashlar reveals with sills. There is a single-light plate-glass sash on the first floor between the bays, and additional plate-glass sashes under segmental heads on each floor to the east. The outer bay is set back and features a ground-floor sash.

A tall, narrow, arched basement doorway with a wrought-iron gate is located between the bays, along with segmental-headed openings in the north outer bay at the basement level, which include a plank door and another opening to the east of the east bay. Steps lead up to the doorway, which has an ashlar surround and a segmental head on the east return. Above the 18th-century range, there is a cupola on a square rendered base, supported by wooden Doric corner columns with a coved top and topped with a weathervane. The eastern, set-back range includes garage openings at the basement level and segmental-headed windows with plate-glass sashes on the floor above.

Inside, there are no remaining features from the original room layout or any notable architectural details. Although the building has been significantly altered from its 18th-century state, it is part of a group with the industrial complex of the Old Brass Mill and Brass Mill Cottages located across the road to the north.
