Eden House, With Walls, Railings And Gates

Eden House, with walls, railings, and gates, is a house likely built in the early 19th century for Sir Robert Johnson Eden of Windlestone Hall. It features coursed squared sandstone with an ashlar plinth, chamfered quoins, and dressings, while the returns and rear are made of coursed rubble. The roof is covered with graduated Lakeland slate and has stone gable copings, a roll-moulded grey ridge, and rendered brick chimneys, with corniced square yellow pots on the left and tapered square red pots on the right. The rear extension has Welsh slate roofing.

The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with a fret-patterned overlight, all set in a tooled plain stone surround. The windows are 12-pane sashes with fine glazing bars, also in similar stone surrounds, positioned above and in the outer bays. There is a high plinth that reaches the sill level, and the roof gable copings rest on moulded kneelers, with banded end chimneys. At the rear, there is a full-width pent one-storey extension.

In the garden, segmental-topped dwarf walls extend from the left end of the house. The railings on these walls feature palmette heads, bulbous finials on the principal supports, and large urn finials on two round-station gate piers that hold spike-headed gates, complete with dogbars and a central patterned band.
