Description
Avalon is a detached cottage, formerly two separate homes, dating from the 17th century. It is constructed from Ham stone that has been cut and squared, with ashlar dressings, and features coursed rubble on the sides and rear. The roof is double Roman clay tiled, with a purpose-made ridge between coped gables and stone slab chimney stacks.
The building has two storeys and consists of two bays. It features hollow-chamfered mullioned windows, mostly in wave-mould recesses, all of which are four-light windows with horizontal-bar casements inserted. There are separate labels above these windows, which are set into gabled dormers that have obelisk finials on the coping. Below the windows, there is a continuous label that steps up over a centrally placed boarded door in a chamfered cambered archway.
On the east gable, there is an additional two-light window without a label, while the west gable has a small stairlight at a higher level. Attached to this gable is a long single-storey building that matches the cottage, with a garage adjacent to the house.
The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to have a cambered-arched fireplace in the east room and a suggestion of a former spiral stair alongside. There is a similar recess in the west gable, some chamfered beams with step and run-out stops, and also fireplaces on the first floor. The roof features a collar truss design.
