Description
Edensor House is a Grade II listed house built around 1840, likely by architects Paxton and Robertson, for the agent to the Duke of Devonshire. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a shallow pitched hipped roof covered with Welsh slate, along with bracketed eaves and ashlar ridge stacks. The façade includes a plain first floor band and projecting quoins.
The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, showcases a full height canted bay with three plain sash windows on each floor. The lower windows are adorned with hoodmoulds supported by scrolled brackets. To the right, there is a projecting square rusticated porch featuring a cornice and blocking course, with a panelled door and a rectangular overlight. Above the porch, the wall is also projecting and has chamfered quoins.
The east elevation, facing the garden, consists of three main bays. The central bay has a canted bay window with steps leading up to French doors topped by a rectangular overlight. This is flanked by plain sash windows, with all but one window featuring hoodmoulds on scrolled brackets. Above, there are five plain sash windows. To the west, the ground floor has two canted bay windows, while five windows above include two tall windows with margin lights. The service wing to the south primarily contains glazing bar sashes.
Inside, the house features a full height staircase hall with a cantilevered openstring staircase, which has two twisted balusters per tread. There is also an ornate marble chimneypiece, and the two main reception rooms boast delicate plaster ceilings.
