Avocado can make a good houseplant, but will soon get too big. Grow it

like Barbados!

It will soon outgrow any conservatory short of the ones at Kew!
While it's hardier than many such things, and doesn't actually
need more than sub-tropical conditions, it will die outside the
first serious winter.
