57, Eton Avenue

No. 57 Eton Avenue is a detached house built around 1889 by architect Harry Measures and constructed by William Willett & Son. The building features a red brick ground floor, while the upper floors are made of yellow brick with red brick dressings and pilasters at the corners, along with terracotta decorations. The roofs are tiled, with a mix of hipped and gabled styles, dormers, tall brick chimney stacks, and a terracotta cornice at the eaves.

The house is designed asymmetrically and consists of three and two storeys with attics. All windows include small stained glass top lights. On the right side, there is a narrow bay with a distinctive almost circular oriel window topped with a conical tiled roof and a heraldic beast supporting a shield. The gabled bay features a four-light canted bay window that extends from the semi-basement to the first floor, complete with a continuous bracketed sill and an apron of chequered terracotta rosettes. Above this, a terracotta bracketed cornice runs across the facade, supporting a parapet adorned with paired roundels in rectangular recesses. The second-floor windows have gauged brick flat arches, and the gable is topped with terracotta coped eaves, a small window, and a finial.

The left entrance bay has a projecting brick portico with terracotta detailing and coping, leading to a shaped entrance with a four-light window above. The entrance features a part-glazed panelled door flanked by side-lights and an overlight, accessed by steps with a curved balustrade. To the left, there is a stained glass transom and mullion window. The first floor has two windows on either side of a central chimney stack, which is decorated with a terracotta cartouche and three recessed panels that rise through the centre of the gable, flanked by oculi. Additionally, on the left return, there is an unusual glazed conservatory with a curved lean-to roof and oriel windows, all featuring small patterned panes. The interior has not been inspected.
