Description
Nos 8 and 10 Eldon Road are a pair of houses built around 1840, likely designed by Henry or Nathaniel Briant. They are constructed from Bath ashlar and feature a rusticated ground floor with quoins. A band runs at the first-floor level, and the hipped slate roof has deep-bracketed eaves with a central chimney. The buildings rise three storeys with a basement; the first and second floors each have two windows, which are glazing bar sashes. The second-floor windows are round-headed, while the first-floor windows have bracketed pediments. Each house includes a wide three-light bay with casement windows. Access to the houses is from the side, through porches supported by Doric piers, topped with a cornice and blocking course.
