Description

Eaglethorpe House is a building that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and was originally built for the Ormes family, with extensions added in the early to mid-19th century. The structure is made of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. It was likely designed with a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with an attic.

The main facade presents an irregular arrangement of six windows, which include 2-, 3-, and 4-light stone mullion windows. The three windows on the right side of the first floor are from the 16th or 17th century, while the others were added in the 19th century. The ground floor windows have had their sills lowered during the 19th century. A central 19th-century panelled door features a four-centred arch head and a moulded stone surround. The building has ashlar quoins and gable parapets, and there are four gabled roof dormers with casement windows that have glazing bars. The ashlar ridge and end stacks are topped with moulded cornices. A straight joint to the right of the entrance indicates the extent of the 19th-century addition, and there is a single-storey building attached to the left of the main front.

Inside, the house features an early 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade and stop-chamfered cross beams. There is a doorway between the rooms to the right of the entrance that is believed to have come from Fotheringhay Castle; it has a four-centred arch head with a falcon in fetlock and a double rose in the spandrels. This door consists of four early 16th-century panels. Additionally, there is a 17th-century fireplace said to be located in a first-floor room.
