Description

Eaton House is one of a pair of three-storey houses, dating from the 18th century. The houses are painted roughcast with a brick dentil eaves cornice and a slate roof, featuring red brick flanking stacks. Each house originally had a central window bay and an outer doorway. Historically, the ground floor windows were 12-pane sashes, aligned inward of the centre, with a central first-floor window and a pair of 9-pane sashes on the second floor. The outer doorways were round arched. Number 108 has subsequently been altered with the addition of narrow sill bands, stucco shouldered surrounds to the ground floor and top floor window openings, and a rusticated arched surround to the doorway, which has a keystone replacing what was presumably a former open pedimented doorcase. The doorway features a plain fanlight and a six-panel door with four sunk panels and two flush panels. A first-floor window has been replaced by a long, early 20th-century rectangular oriel window with a casement pair to the front, incorporating Art Nouveau stained glass in the top lights and side lights, modillions to the cornice, and a metal hipped roof. The top 9-pane sashes have been replaced with uPVC windows since 1981.

A rear wing, clad in late 20th-century dry-dash rendering, connects to the rear wing of the neighbouring house. A first-floor oriel window is visible on the north end wall of the rear wing.

Original wrought iron railings, reminiscent of those from the 1820s found at Picton Terrace in Carmarthen, border the property. These railings are supported by rendered dwarf walls with stone coping, incorporating square uprights with scrolls between spiked finials. The railings extend to the east side, and a slate path leads to the doorway. A gate matching the design of the railings provides access.

Inside, the inner hall showcases fine early 20th-century Art Nouveau tiling on the side walls, alongside an inner half-glazed door with Art Nouveau leaded glass, complemented by two similar leaded panels in the overlight. A hallway to the right of the front room exhibits a vine-scroll and wheat ceiling border, panelled shutters, and a six-panel door. A similar door leads to a steep stone cellar staircase. The staircase, positioned to the left of the hall, features straight balusters, open scroll strings, thin turned newels, and ramped rails. A first-floor door opens into a large front room, which includes a leaf and berry cornice and a hop-flower border. The earlier 20th-century fireplace is a combination of neo-Adam and Art Nouveau details, featuring tall, thin detached columns, a high shelf, and an oval overmantel mirror under a curved top. The attic has a single four-panel door. The rear wing incorporates two four-panel doors leading to the top floor, while the ground floor kitchen features a fireplace on the west wall with a brick head.
