Eastry House

Eastry House is a house that has been converted into an institution. It was built in the early 19th century and expanded in the late 19th century. The exterior is rendered and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys, with a rusticated ground floor and a parapet, and chimney stacks located at the center and the right end. The front has five bays, with glazing bar sashes set in two-storey elliptically arched recesses. The two end bays on the left and the center right bay project outwards, the latter topped with a cornice and parapet, which also contains the entrance. The entrance features a panelled door located on the right side of a one-storey porch, which has a tripartite glazing bar sash at the front. There are later 19th-century wings at the rear and a 20th-century one-storey extension on the left. Inside, there is a staircase with wreathed handrails, turned principal newels, and unturned balusters on an open string, consisting of two flights with a full landing. The staircase hall features an egg and tongue frieze and a plaster ceiling rose, with other Neo-Classical details found throughout the building. The chamfered ceiling joists in the rear range suggest that there may have been an earlier core to the building.
