Westminster Hotel (Number 21) And Eton House (Number 22)

Westminster Hotel (Number 21) and Eton House (Number 22) are a pair of semi-detached villas or boarding houses, now functioning as a hotel and a house. They were built in the mid-19th century, possibly designed by Sir Joseph Paxton for the Duke of Devonshire. The buildings are constructed from coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings and feature a shallow hipped Welsh slate roof with three stacks that have moulded caps.

The exterior consists of three storeys, with a chamfered plinth, a first-floor band, first- and second-floor sill bands, and bracketed eaves. The pair of double-fronted houses has a total of six windows. Each house has a central doorway with a glazed door and overlight, framed by painted stone pilasters and topped with a flat hood. Above the doorway of No.22 is a single 2/2 sash window with a carved keystone. On either side of the doorway are two-storey canted bay windows with hipped lead roofs, featuring segment-headed 2/2 and plain sashes at No.22. Above these bay windows is a central smaller 2/2 sash flanked by single tripartite sashes. The left return has a two-window range with a two-storey canted bay window on the left. All windows in No.21 have been replaced with 20th-century uPVC.

The interior has not been inspected. The Broad Walk, where these buildings are located, is lined with a series of Victorian villas and overlooks the Pavilion Gardens, which were originally laid out by Paxton around 1850. Most surrounding houses were built by speculative developers, with some reportedly designed in detail by Paxton's pupil Edward Milner from 1871 and constructed by Saunders & Wollcott of London for the 7th Duke.
