Description

Eldon House is a large house built around 1700, with alterations and additions made in the early 19th century. It features roughcast brick and stone construction, a renewed pantiled roof, and rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The main block is two stories high and has five bays, with a central partly-glazed six-panel door set in a 20th-century stone surround topped by a bracketed hood. The windows are small, replaced twelve-pane sashes in shallow reveals, and there is a cogged-brick eaves band. The roof is steeply pitched with slightly-swept eaves and renewed gable copings, along with end and two ridge stacks.

To the left, there is a two-story extension with two windows that also has replaced twelve-pane sashes and a tall left end stack. This extension has a monopitch roof that slopes down to the rear. At the back of the main block, there is a two-story rear outshut featuring a small Venetian stair window with a Y-tracery head. Inside, there is a dogleg closed-string staircase with two flights plus a landing rail, which includes turned balusters and a moulded square-section handrail. A late 20th-century wing added to the rear of the left return is not of special interest.
