18 Fields Park Avenue

This is one of a pair of buildings with number 62 Fields Park Road, constructed in a 'Jacobethan' style. The exterior is built from random square red sandstone rubble with freestone dressings and some slate hanging, covered by slate roofs. The roofs feature gable and axial stacks. The house is two stories high, with the main rooms facing east and west. The front entrance is located on the north elevation of the east range, positioned at the angle where it meets the longer west range, which originally housed service rooms.

The rear elevation, facing west, has three parallel Dutch gables. The right-hand gable contains the principal rooms and has a full-height canted bay window with plain, chamfered mullioned and transomed sash windows on both floors. The two left-hand gables originally housed service rooms; a three-light mullioned and transomed window is found on the ground floor of the central gable, with an oriel window above. A lean-to addition extends across the lower floor of the left-hand gable, featuring a window with a drop-ended hood-mould on its north-facing return. A Dutch gable faces east, containing a blocked pointed arched doorway and windows with drop-ended hood-moulds.

The north wall of the east range has a recessed porch with drop-ended hood-moulds to the architrave of the outer doorway. Above the porch is a two-light mullioned and transomed window, and a stack corbelled out from the apex of the gable. The front garden faces east, featuring a Dutch gable on the right with a full-height bow window containing three by two-light mullioned and transomed sash windows, each with drop-ended hood-moulds on the ground floor. A castellated 'apron' sits above the first-floor windows. A parallel, narrower gable is located alongside it to the south, with mullioned and transomed windows of two and three lights, each with hood-moulds on both floors. The moulded entablature of the lower window slightly corbels out the upper section of the gable.

Inside, a central stairhall features dado panelling and a fireplace with its original chimney piece. An open-well staircase is lit from above by a shallow dome with painted glass, timber supporting ribs, and a central pendant. The principal rooms retain original features in an 18th-century style, including fireplaces, plaster cornices, and window shutters. Raised mouldings on the wall panels in the drawing room were designed to accommodate fabric or paper, and a small sitting room has oak panelling. Wainscot panelling with reeded pilasters is found in the west-facing dining room.
