Description

Eachwick Hall is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a rear extension added in 1768 and alterations made to the west side in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof. Originally designed in a T-plan, it has since developed into four irregular ranges surrounding a small courtyard.

The facade is three stories high and features nine bays. The central doorway is framed by Tuscan pilasters set on taller square corniced piers topped with urn finials, and there is a shield in an elaborate cartouche above the door. The windows are mainly narrow, two-pane sashes with moulded sills and roll-moulded edges on the reveals. The outer two bays on each side have top cornices and castellated parapets, with higher corniced and castellated turrets at the corners. The roofs are gabled, featuring corniced end and ridge stacks.

On the left return, there is a three-bay facade with a two-story center and three-story castellated outer bays. An early 19th-century castellated porch has a six-panelled door flanked by Tuscan pilasters, with a cartouche above. Above this is a late 18th-century Gothick window. The outer bays have sash windows with double-chamfered surrounds and parapets similar to the front, but each is pierced with a vertical oval. The right bay is early 18th-century, while the left bay is an early 19th-century copy designed for symmetry.

At the rear, there is a former segmental archway leading into the courtyard, which is now blocked with a 20th-century door. Above this archway is a moulded panel inscribed with "CEJ 1768."

Inside, the staircase features turned balusters, a wreathed, ramped, and moulded handrail, a moulded soffit, and a panelled dado. A large round-headed stair window opens onto the courtyard, and there is an early 19th-century plaster ceiling with a modillion cornice. The dining room has early 18th-century panelling with a bolection-moulded fireplace flanked by fluted pilasters and two round-headed niches. The drawing room is also panelled, with fluted pilasters framing the fireplace and a door, along with another doorway and a niche that have panelled pilasters and a panelled round-headed sopraporte. The niche features shaped shelves. A second drawing room includes a fireplace with an eared architrave, fluted pilasters, and a frieze of metopes and triglyphs above a panelled overmantel.
