Description
Eyot House is a house, now divided, dating to around 1890. It was originally built as a hotel by Richard D'Oyley Carte, the manager of the Savoy Opera Company, and served as his residence and a weekend rehearsal retreat for the company. The house is constructed with whitewashed brick at the lower level and roughcast above, topped with a plain tiled and hipped roof. Tall, star-shaped stacks project from the roof. The architectural style is Swiss Chalet. The building is two storeys high with an attic, featuring a round, domed, tile-hung dormer to the left and a hipped dormer to the right, alongside a half-hipped dormer with diagonal wooden braces. Six casement windows are arranged across the first floor, with two in a projecting break to the left and two beneath a half-hipped break to the right. A wooden gallery extends across the centre of the first floor, supported by arched, braced posts with a wooden handrail above. A double, half-glazed door is located to the right of centre, protected by a pentice roof porch with a half-hipped roof supported by wooden posts. The gallery continues across the return fronts on braced posts.
