Avondale

Avondale is a three-storey woollen mill, with an adjoining house on the right that was originally a pair of houses, and a later lower cross wing at right angles to the left. The main mill is constructed of rubble stone with yellow-brick dressings, featuring camber-headed windows and a slate roof. On the front elevation facing the yard, there are four windows that are not evenly spaced, with small-pane glazing that includes pivoting lights, although these are in poor condition. To the lower right, there is a lintelled doorway with a split boarded door and strap hinges. An additional window has been inserted into the lower storey on the left side, and the upper-storey windows are positioned beneath the eaves.

The lower two-storey cross wing to the left has three windows with camber-headed openings that have been replaced, along with red-brick dressings and a renewed slate roof that includes skylights. It features boarded doors on the right side in both storeys, with the lower storey door being wider. The gable end has two windows, and the rear has four windows with similar details, though most of the glazing is missing from the rear, which also has a boarded door on the left side. The cross wing extends beyond the gable end of the main range, and beneath it runs the tail race in a segmental-arched culvert. A rubble-stone wheelpit is located against the left gable end of the main range, and part of the head race remains at the upper level. The gable end of the main range has replaced small-pane windows and a boarded loft door, while the rear features windows similar to those at the front.

The two-storey house is lower than the mill and has rubble-stone walls with red-brick camber-headed openings, a slate roof with projecting eaves, and brick stacks. The left side was originally a three-window house, featuring margin-lit two-pane sash windows and a central boarded door. The right side, which was formerly a separate two-window house, has renewed small-pane sashes and a replaced glazed door on the left side. The right gable end is roughcast.

Inside the mill, the original simple stairs without risers are still intact. In the added wing, likely used as a dye house, a cast iron boiler is retained.
