Avington - Physical Description 1
Former Avington is a highly accomplished example of a large residence designed in the Old English style'. The influence of the Arts and Crafts movement can be seen in the use of different textures and materials and the predominance of romantic architectural forms. Half-timbering is employed in the upper storey sections with tapestry brick or rendered infill. These walls project over the lower walls and porch area in a manner imitating medieval building techniques. The roof and upper gable ends a clad in flat terracotta tile with splayed hood' over a long vertical vent. The double hung windows contain diamond leadlight panes. A carport with heavy curved timber brackets spans the driveway leading to a rear garage. The brick driveway complements the fence and garden wall and shrubs, creeping vines and an established oak in the front garden contribute to the picturesque character of the garden.
