Description

No. 26 Eastwick Road is a house from the early 18th century that has been extended at the rear. It is a small, two-storey, two-window timber-framed structure that faces north and is set higher than the road. The house features a high rendered brick plinth and a steep old red tile roof on the front slope, while the rear slope has been raised and extended as a catslide over a two-storey rear addition. There are internal gable chimneys. The front is symmetrical and painted roughcast, with flush box sash windows that have 6/6 panes and moulded architraves. The central entrance is a four-panel door set in a heavy frame, also with a matching architrave and a dripboard supported by shaped brackets. The gable walls are weatherboarded. This is an interesting small 18th-century house and is part of a picturesque mixed group facing the Plume of Feathers public house.
