Eden Hall

Eden Hall is a house located on Minster Monkton Road, dating from the early 15th century and late 18th century. It features a timber frame that has been refronted with brown brick and has a plain tiled roof. The building is a hall house with three framed bays and later wings added to the rear. It stands two storeys high on a plinth, topped with a parapet on a hipped roof that includes one hipped dormer and stacks to the left, with a projecting stack at the end right. There are four glazing bar sash windows on each floor, each with gauged heads. To the right, there is a six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, and a semi-circular fanlight in an arched surround. A single-storey hipped extension is located to the right. The rear wings are two storeys tall and made of painted brick.

Inside, the main range features a roof supported by three unmoulded crown posts of square section, which are braced to the tie beam and collar purlin. There is an inglenook fireplace, and the lower floor ceilings have moulded and carved brackets and consoles, along with moulded door panels that date to the early 19th century. The building also has a ramped stair rail on balusters and a well-preserved beehive-vaulted bread oven. Eden Hall is likely one of the earliest surviving domestic buildings in Thanet.
