Edmondsham House

Edmonsham House is a country house dated 1589, featuring 18th-century wings to the southeast and northwest, along with extensive remodeling and alterations in the 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered brickwork with ashlar dressings and has tiled roofs, with rendered stacks placed in various locations.

The southwest facade is symmetrical and consists of three storeys with an inner five bays from the 16th century and outer bays from the 18th century. The 16th-century bays one, three, and five project, as do the 18th-century wings. There are weathered string courses, and the 16th-century range includes three and five-light stone mullioned and mullioned and transomed windows. The projecting bays feature shaped gables topped with vase finials. The 18th-century wings contain sash windows with glazing bars set in ashlar architraves, with first-floor windows having round heads, keystones, and imposts, and blind round-headed openings above. The wings also have semi-circular gables with vase finials.

A central porch features a round-headed arch with a panelled archivolt and jambs with moulded capitals. The 18th-century northwest front is two storeys high and has seven symmetrical bays, with a central pavilion defined by rusticated ashlar quoins and topped with a pediment. The upper floor has nine-pane sashes, while the lower floor has 12-pane sashes, both with flat brick arches and stone keystones. The central doorway has a rusticated architrave that continues around the window above, which includes a part-glazed door and a lunette window in the pediment.

Interior features include a 17th-century staircase with oak newel posts topped with ball finials, plain strings, moulded handrails, and turned balusters, as well as a subsidiary 17th-century staircase with a moulded close string and flat balusters. Other interior features date from the 19th century.

Newman and Pevsner suggest that there may be design connections with Longleat in Wiltshire.
