Originally built in 1818, Avonstone House was extensively remodelled in the late 19th century by the Navy.

And this former residence of the Admiral of the British Navy Fleet is now up for sale, featured on property website Rightmove.

The impressive, projecting entrance porch is one example of the embellishments carried out during the late 1800s with its traditional moulded frieze, cornice on consoles and parapet with urns.
