Description
32 and 34 Eldon Road is a pair of houses built around 1840, likely by architects Henry or Nathaniel Briant. The buildings are three stories tall with a basement, constructed from Bath stone ashlar and topped with a hipped slate roof. They feature two bays, with corner and dividing piers and arcaded corbelling beneath the eaves. The ground floor has a channelled finish, while the windows are tripartite glazing bar sashes, with round-headed windows on the second floor that fit into the corbelling. The ground floor windows have marginal glazing and are topped with overall segmental pediments, along with corbelled balconies that display delicate wrought-iron patterns. Flanking the entrance are recessed two-story porches with round-headed doorways and round-headed sidelights. The wings on each side have plain gable roofs and are set back behind the porch extensions.
