Description
Eastbury House is an irregularly shaped building, likely dating from around 1700, with various additions and alterations made over the years. The front facing the road is a late 18th century roughcast design with two storeys and five windows, featuring a stone plinth and chamfered quoins. The roof is made of stone slate, with gable ends that have stone parapet copings. A stone doorway is adorned with Tuscan half-round pilasters and an entablature, and the door opening is round-headed with a fanlight above it. To the right, there is a carriage entrance flanked by stone gate piers topped with moulded caps.
Inside, there is a re-set 17th century stone fireplace. To the west of Eastbury House, a high stone garden wall with rubble capping extends around the corner to St Swithin's Road and continues northward up St Swithin's Road as far as St Swithin's Close.
