Description

Eagle House is a late 19th-century house situated within the village of Belstone. The construction utilizes snecked granite with large granite ashlar quoins, granite stacks featuring plastered chimney shafts (likely brick beneath) and original chimney pots, and a grey slate roof with horizontal bands of purple-coloured fish scale slates.

The house is L-shaped. The main block faces south-east and accommodates a two-room plan, a central entrance lobby, and a staircase. A parlour wing projects at right angles from the left end, and an integral outshot adjoins the right end. The main block has end stacks, the left of which is shared laterally with the parlour. The house is two storeys high with attics within the roof space.

The exterior presents a regular yet deliberately asymmetrical facade. The ground floor windows are original timber, being three-light mullion-and-transom windows with casement openings, the upper lights having glazing bars. These windows feature chamfered reveals and Tudor-style hoodmoulds. First-floor casements also include glazing bars. The parlour wing exhibits windows within a projecting bay with a monopitch roof; a small attic window is positioned in the gable above it. The main entrance features a late 19th-century plank door with ornate strap hinges, set behind a contemporary glazed porch. Above the door is a small diamond-shaped light, and above that a slit window. An outshot incorporates a similar door and another slit window. The main block's roof is half-hipped to the right, and the parlour wing has a gable end. Ornate openwork bargeboards, carved with foliage, adorn this gable and the smaller gable above a window in the main block. Rear windows are distinguished by brick segmental arches, and include a large sash window with margin panes to the stairwell.

The interior of the house has not been inspected.

The front garden is demarcated by a low granite stone rubble wall incorporating an original wrought iron gate; this gateway is considered secondary. The original entrance is now blocked, but its location is indicated by monolithic granite gate posts. Eagle House is considered the finest of the new houses within the village of Belstone, which itself developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
