Eaves Hall

Eaves Hall is a house dating from 1922, designed by Hitchon and Pickup. It is constructed of red brick and Portland stone, with a slate roof. The main south facade is symmetrical, taking inspiration from the Free Renaissance style, and is flanked by two projecting wings linked by a balcony over the recessed central section, supported by paired Tuscan columns. A large open pediment, supported by paired Ionic columns, sits above a tripartite window with Ionic columns as mullions, and a Diocletian window above. The windows are casements with glazing bars, with architraves to those in the wings. A pediment sits above the first-floor centre window. The west facade is divided into three sections, each nearly symmetrical. A doorway features a large segmental open pediment on bracketed consoles. A long window of seven lights with square mullions, is set forward with four Tuscan columns resting on the sill and supporting an entablature; a semi-circular moulded head with scallop decoration is above the central three lights. Above this is a Venetian window with a balcony, under an open pediment. The left-hand section of the facade has a ground-floor window similar to the central section, with six columns and four lights. The interior is planned around an informal central lobby, panelled in stained wood, with Ionic columns and pilasters.
