Lower Edenhope Farmhouse

Lower Edenhope Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 16th century, with modifications made in the mid to late 19th century. The building features a rendered timber frame, which has been partly rebuilt or refaced with coursed limestone rubble, and is topped with a slate roof. It has a three-room baffle-entry plan and stands two storeys tall. A large brick chimney stack is located behind the ridge, slightly off-centre to the right. The front of the house has five windows, with mid to late 19th century wooden two- and three-light cross casements; most of the front windows were replaced in a matching style during the 20th century. There is a boarded door with a bracketed flat hood and a later porch. At the rear, a probable former lintel has been reused as a sill, featuring a carved shield and supporters. Inside, the farmhouse includes chamfered beams and a large open fireplace with an early 19th century surround and a spit rack above. It is noted that the Earl of Northampton is said to have died here around 1600.
