Eckington House

Eckington House is a late 16th or early 17th century L-shaped timber-framed house, with a red brick facade, although the rear wing, and possibly the entire building, may be older. The house has two storeys and a cellar, with an attic in the gable end. It features two windows and two small gables, topped with a tiled roof. The windows are set within stone surrounds with dripstones; the first-floor windows are original casements with stone mullions, while the ground-floor windows were altered in the 18th century. A gabled brick porch, accessed by nine steps, features a carved bressummer, bargeboards, and pendants. The brick doorway has a near-square head and a 24-panel iron-studded door. A brick chimney breast is visible on the south wall. The rear wing exhibits exposed timber-framing and close-studding on the first floor.
