Eden Hill 35 Upper Quilly Road Banbridge Co Down BT25 1NP

Eden Hill is a detached asymmetrical five-bay two-storey developed vernacular lobby entry house type built around 1800. The building sits at the end of a long avenue to the east of Upper Quilly Road on a mature, slightly elevated site.

The main house is rectangular on plan facing northwest. A single-storey flat-roofed front entrance porch was added around 1930, and a two-bay two-storey flat-roofed rear extension was added around 1960. A single-storey wing abuts the southwest gable. The large rear yard is enclosed by two two-storey rendered outbuildings.

The pitched natural slate roof has black clay ridge tiles, raised concrete verges and three rendered profiled brick chimneys. Moulded metal guttering is supported on a moulded rendered eaves cornice with plastic downpipes.

The walls are cement rendered with rusticated rendered quoins. The ground floor is ruled-and-lined render below a continuous sill band, with pebbledash render to the first floor. Square-headed window openings have concrete sills and original 6/6 timber sash windows with exposed sash boxes. The front elevation is five windows wide with the central entrance porch. First-floor windows are diminished with smooth rendered surrounds, while larger ground-floor windows have deep moulded architrave surrounds. The entrance porch contains a single-pane timber sash window to the front with margin lights and a square-headed door opening to the right with a replacement hardwood panelled door.

The northeast gable is blank with a chimney to the apex. The date '1928' is scribed into the pebbledash render of the first floor. The rear elevation is abutted by an off-centre flat-roofed two-storey rendered extension added around 1960. The first floor has two 2/2 timber sash windows to the right; remaining windows are largely timber casement and uPVC replacements. A replacement sheeted timber door opens into the rear concrete paved yard. The southwest gable is abutted by a single-bay single-storey rendered section with pitched natural slate roof and steel casement window, further abutted by a single-storey section with a single-span natural slate roof attached to a single-storey outbuilding set at right angles, enclosing the southwest of the yard.

The site is accessed via a long avenue. An extensive front garden is enclosed by hedging with a pair of decorative wrought-iron gates supported on rendered piers and quadrant walls with stop-chamfer details and gabletted capstones. A matching pedestrian wrought-iron gate and piers are located to the southeast of the house. The southwest of the yard was enclosed by a single-storey lime rendered stone outbuilding with pitched natural slate roof, now demolished around 2015. The northeast is enclosed by a two-storey rough-cast rendered outbuilding with pitched natural slate roof, sheeted timber doors and loading bays. The southeast is enclosed by a further two-storey range with corrugated iron roof, cement rendered walls and sheeted timber doors and loading bays.
