Middle Avenue sits on a corner plot in a garden suburb of Farnham. Though it has developed in more recent times in ad-hoc styles, there is an underlying arts and crafts vernacular that is very much in presence. Built for the clients and their grown-up children as an adaptable family home, Middle Avenue has been meticulously researched and there is much evidence of an affinity for the late 19th-century period of architecture.
