3, Eaton Gardens

No. 3 Eaton Gardens is a villa, now divided into flats, built in the 1880s by William Willett. The building features yellow stock bricks, incised bricks, and stone lintels, topped with a bitumen-covered hipped slate roof that has overhanging eaves supported by shaped brackets on the facade. A hipped roof crowns the central projecting bay, and there are tall paired stacks with moulded caps on the returns.

The villa is double-fronted and includes a conservatory on the north return. It has two storeys plus an attic over a basement, with a facade organized into three main bays, flanked by full-height canted bays on either side of the entrance bay. All window openings are square-headed, featuring chamfered and incised continuous lintels, with cills supported by shaped brackets. The sash windows lack glazing bars and have blind boxes, except for the central bay, which projects through the eaves. The building also has a strongly moulded cornice, paired windows, and flat-roofed attic windows with one vertical glazing bar.

The ground floor cornice is also moulded, and the entrance features a central round-arched opening with large ornate capitals on slender columns set in arris. The original panelled door is accompanied by sidelights and a fanlight, accessed by a shallow flight of steps. To the right is a coeval single-storey conservatory with a curved glass roof and many-paned leading. This villa forms part of a group with Nos. 8 and 14 Eaton Gardens.
