Description
Eversley House is an early 18th-century house, refaced around 1770 and refurbished around 1820, with later 20th-century alterations. It is now part of a surgery. The house is constructed of red brick with a slate roof.
The front facade is two storeys high and has a five-window arrangement. The central entrance features a six-panelled door topped with a five-paned fanlight. It is set within a doorcase with two fluted pilasters, a block entablature, and an open dentilled pediment, with panelled reveals and an arched soffit. The windows are six-over-six unhorned sashes, each set beneath a gauged skewback arch. A 20th-century fascia board runs along the eaves. The gabled roof has internal gable-end stacks to the north and south.
An addition dating to around 1780 is situated to the right, with two storeys and a two-window range. It has six-over-six unhorned sashes to the ground floor and no first-floor openings. The roof is hipped. A four-panelled door in a timber doorcase is located in the additional bay to the right.
The rear of the house features an early 18th-century two-storey cross wing with a first-floor platband and 19th-century six-over-six unhorned sashes.
Inside, a staircase has stick balusters and a ramped handrail, dating to around 1820.
