43, Eton Avenue

This detached house was built around 1890 by Harry Measures, with construction carried out by William Willett & Son. The ground floor is of red brick, while the upper floors are of yellow brick with red brick dressings and pilasters at the corners. The roof is tiled, with hipped and gabled sections, dormers, tall brick chimney stacks featuring elaborately stepped tops, and a coved eaves cornice in the right-hand bay.

The house is three and two storeys high, with attics and a semi-basement. The window arrangement is irregular, featuring glazing bars to the top lights. A narrow bay to the right is blind, except for a single window on the second floor. A projecting gabled bay with a three-light bay window rises from the semi-basement through the first floor, supported by a continuous bracketed sill. The first floor supports an undulating moulded brick parapet with pilasters on corbels, linked by a moulded band that continues across the facade as a cornice and an eaves cornice. The second floor is tile-hung, partly with fishscale tiles, and has two windows protected by small tile hoods beneath the bargeboarded gable. The gable has central window surrounded by figurative plaster relief work. The left-hand bay features a central entrance with a ground floor porch and an ogee hood supported on brick brackets, flanked by single windows. At first floor level, an undulating parapet surrounds single windows flanking a central chimney stack which rises through a crow-stepped gable and is flanked by smaller single windows.

The interior of the house has not been inspected. This building holds group value due to its architectural significance.
