Description
Nos 28 and 30 Eldon Road is a pair of houses built before 1840, likely by architects Henry or Nathaniel Briant. The buildings are 2½ storeys high and constructed from Bath stone ashlar, featuring hipped slate roofs and two central chimneys. They have flat eaves that are partially obscured at the front by a wide break with a coved cornice, which includes two small attic windows with marginal glazing and gulloche panels below. The houses have two ranges of glazing bar sash windows, with tripartite arch-headed windows on the ground floor that lead to a stone balcony with cast-iron railings. There is a band above the ground floor, which is channelled. Recessed round-headed porches are located on either side of the entrance. The front garden walls project and are topped with Eldon Square-type piers that are polygonal with crested capping.
