Description

Eyton Court is a house dating from the late 15th to early 16th century, with repairs from the 17th century and a partial rebuilding in the early 19th century, incorporating some mid-20th century restoration. It is a timber-framed building with rendered infill on a rendered plinth, featuring tile roofs, with a later extension in rendered brick with a slate roof. The building follows a T-plan, consisting of a 15th-century cross-wing of two framed bays aligned north/south, and an early 19th-century range to the east. A brick chimney stack sits on the 19th-century range, and a stone stack with a rendered brick shaft is located on the 15th-century range to the north of the southern bay.

The south front presents a gabled 15th-century range to the left, with two storeys. The first floor has a four-light casement window, dating to the 17th century. The ground floor features a seven-light oriel window with a 15th-century solid moulded sill. The tie beam and first floor are jettied, with a moulded soffit. The 19th-century range to the right also has two storeys and features brick dentilled eaves. It includes two glazing bar sash windows under segmental heads. The ground floor entrance on the left side has a plain wooden architrave, a radially glazed fanlight, and a six-panel door.

The west front of the 15th-century range is also jettied, incorporating five-light oriels to each floor, with 15th-century moulded sills and mullions. The north wall similarly features jettied oriels. The timber framing is close-studded with a mid-rail, except for the first floor of the south gable end which displays a 17th-century two square panels design. The jetties on all three sides have a moulded bressummer and are supported by curved brackets, as are the jettied tie-beams. Gable-end trusses include king-posts with herringbone struts.

Internally, the south room on the ground floor has 15th-century moulded ceiling beams forming twelve panels, subdivided by moulded joists, including a dragon beam. The fireplace in this room has a restored depressed four-centred arch. A first-floor south room, which incorporates some 20th-century partitions, features a 15th-century boarded ceiling divided into panels by moulded ribs with carved bosses at the intersections. An entrance to this room is adorned with a 17th-century panelled pediment.
