Description
Eaton Hall is a farmhouse with a mid-19th century façade built on a likely 14th-century core. The house is roughcast with a Welsh slate roof, featuring a central brick ridge stack and a brick end stack. The main front has two storeys and a four-window arrangement, with 19th-century casement windows. A late 19th-century four-panel sash window is centrally placed to the right. The central entrance has a margin-glazed and panelled door set in panelled reveals under a simple wooden hood. A prominent canted bay with four-panel, eight-by-eight, and four-by-four sashes, plus two casements, is on the left.
To the left is a 18th-century structure built onto a possible 14th-century wing, now used as a granary and hop drying kiln. This section is timber-framed and brick with sandstone rubble walls and a hipped plain tile roof, with a 20th-century brick lateral stack. It features a loft door and an opening with timber bars, over corrugated-iron sliding doors. The right returned side has steps to a plank door. On the left returned side are three barred openings, a two-light stone mullion window, a wooden mullion window, and a blocked opening. An 18th-century wing extends to the rear, including a spurred brick stack.
The rear elevation is a mix of brick, rubble, and includes a 19th-century six-by-nine sliding sash window and an 18th-century three-by-six sash in a moulded case under a timber lintel, above a rubble outshut with a Welsh slate roof. A wing to the right rear is roughcast and combines brick, concrete block, and a Welsh slate roof, with a substantial rubble stack, a 20th-century brick ridge stack, various windows and entrances, and post-and-panel timber framing. One gable displays framing with heavy curved braces. The interior of the house was not inspected.
