Description
Eyarth Hall, also known as Eyarth Uchaf, is a large house built partially on a slope, with its various ranges set at right angles to the ground. The house is approached from the north, and the main range is three storeys high, constructed in a mock-timber framed style, with a slate roof and three chimneys of local limestone - two large ones at the ends and a smaller one in the middle. Attached to this main range are gabled wings extending to the west, north, and south, as well as a cross-wing to the east.
The north-facing front elevation of the main range features a 16-pane sash window on each floor, with a smaller 12-pane sash window on the first floor to the left; a gabled attic dormer is also present. The south-facing garden elevation has a tall rendered chimney at the right and a small attic dormer. On the ground floor to the right is a single-storey, splayed bay window, with a doorway to its left. There is a small sash window at eaves level, and a 12-pane sash window; to the left is a tripartite small-pane window extending through the first and ground floors, with a similar window above it, beyond the lower timber-framed south wing which extends at a right angle.
The north wing, which contains the main entrance, is gabled and built in 17th-century timber framing with a slate roof. It is two windows wide. The main door is on the left, leading into a space that was originally an open porch. Above the door is the date 1606 and the initials RW. Above this is a horizontally sliding sash window, and a large stone chimney is positioned to the right.
The west wing projects into steeply rising ground. Its north elevation has two gabled dormers, the left with a leaded window and the right with a loft door. A glazed lean-to porch is situated in the angle below. A sash window is found in the west gable elevation.
The east cross-wing is also constructed in a mock-half-timbered style. Its east elevation has two two-storey splayed bay windows, between which are a small-pane window at the eaves and a small-pane casement on the ground floor. A small south wing is also mock-timber-framed.
The gardens and approach drive are reported to contain stone features likely contemporary with the house, but which were extensively remodelled in the 19th century. These features include water-worn limestone copings.
The interior of the house reflects its various building phases, with exposed beams and joists, panelled and planked doors (particularly in the west wing), and several large fireplaces. The porch leads to a hallway with a 17th-century planked screen to the right. There is a date on the plasterwork above a fireplace, reading "1599". In the east block, a large fireplace displays a severed beam. A kitchen features an inglenook fireplace. A late 19th-century Jacobethan staircase shows signs of being reused. On the landing, a plaster plaque displays an heraldic shield, the date "1606”, and initials “RW”. Secondary wooden stairs are also present.
