Edmondbyers Youth Hostel

Edmondbyers Youth Hostel is a building that consists of three houses, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with a Youth Hostel dated 1936 on the lintel. The structure features a rendered exterior with impressed crockery sherds and ashlar dressings, topped by a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high with nine bays, and there is a one-storey, one-bay addition on the left.

The building has alternate-block jambs and a flat stone lintel above a blocked door in the second bay. There is a plain stone surround with a dated lintel above a renewed door in the fifth bay, and a rendered plain surround to another blocked door in the eighth bay. At the right end, there are double boarded vehicle doors. The fenestration is irregular, primarily consisting of late 19th-century sashes of various sizes, with ground floor windows featuring flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills, including a large window in the seventh bay. The first floor has smaller windows situated at the eaves. The one-storey left extension has a renewed fixed light with glazing bars. The building has end chimneys and a square stack in the fifth bay, which is topped with tall yellow pots. This structure is included for its historical interest.
