Edenfel, 46 Crevenagh Road, Omagh, Co.Tyrone, BT79 0EW

Edenfel is a detached gabled two-storey house with attic storey, built in 1862 and constructed of roughly-coursed tooled rubble stone with squared ashlar quoins. The building is L-shaped in plan and faces south, situated on an elevated site within wooded landscaped grounds northeast of Crevenagh Road.

The house has pitched natural slate roofs with roll-moulded black clay ridge tiles and overhanging eaves fitted with replacement metal and plastic rainwater goods. Four gables articulate the principal south elevation, with three further gables to the west garden elevation and three to the rear, all featuring decorative timber barge-boards and finials. Three stone ashlar chimneystacks with decorative clay pots rise prominently; a large example on the east side elevation has been removed above eaves level and displays offsets. Flat-roofed extensions clad in natural slate have been added to the rear pitch at attic level.

All window openings are square-headed and formed in chamfered stone ashlar surrounds to the principal elevation, with original timber casement and sash windows throughout. The rear elevation employs red brick surrounds to openings and some camber-headed variations, also with red brick. Walling to the stair hall return is painted cement rendered.

The principal south elevation comprises four bays with an off-centre single-bay two-storey gabled entrance projection. To the right of the entrance stands the largest bay, a three-sided two-storey projecting bay with a stone plaque reading "THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT / AD1862 by / L.M.BUCHANAN". The outer gables display attic-storey gothic window openings with fixed-pane timber windows. The ground floor features tripartite timber casement windows; the projecting bay retains these to both floors, with bipartite casement to the first floor except above the entrance where a single-pane timber sash window sits (replaced by a bipartite timber casement in the left first-floor bay). The gothic front door opening in the entrance bay has a hood moulding with foliate label stops and a deep stop-chamfered surround containing double-leaf timber panelled doors with decorative brass furniture. The door opens onto a stone platform with two stone steps. A single stone string course marks the ground floor level of the entrance bay and the three-sided projecting bay.

The three-bay two-storey west garden elevation displays a right-hand gable with a three-sided canted bay at ground floor, a tripartite opening to the first floor with ashlar stone mullions, and a gothic opening at attic level. Gablets pierce the roof to the other two bays, all with decorative timber barge-boards and finials. The canted bay is constructed in stone ashlar with a blocking course to timber eaves and natural slate roof. Timber casement windows serve the large gable (with first-floor replacement), 2/2 timber sash windows light the first-floor gablets, and a bipartite single-pane timber sash window and double-leaf glazed timber doors occupy the left ground floor and central bay respectively.

The rear elevation comprises a pair of two-storey returns with attic, the right-hand example enclosing the rear yard. A first-floor flat-roof addition (stair hall) fills the valley between the two returns, with an attached conservatory below. Simple timber barge-boards and finials crown the rear gables. Window openings are generally camber-headed formed in red brick with 2/2 timber sash windows. The stair hall was substantially rebuilt circa 1990 with two double-height gothic window openings featuring coloured glass. A square-headed door opening in the left gable contains a timber panelled door with upper glazed panels, opening to a small rear courtyard.

The east side elevation, recessed to its rear half, originally featured a large stone chimneystack to its front half (now removed above eaves level and showing offsets). Camber-headed window openings formed in red brick contain timber sash windows.

A tall rubble-stone wall abutting the east side elevation contains a bell-cote and encloses the rear yard. East of this wall stands a brick vaulted carport with landscaped roof, alongside an L-plan range of lean-to single-storey outbuildings bordering the paved rear yard. A front bitumac area provides parking, with landscaped grounds to the west, south and east set within mature woodland. A terraced garden occupies the west side. The bitumac avenue curves westward toward the road, where a pair of tall cast-iron gates mounted on square stone piers provides access. The avenue continues past the east elevation and continues northeast to a range of former outbuildings. A multi-bay two-storey outbuilding has been extensively refurbished as additional accommodation, featuring a pitched natural slate roof, timber casement windows and cast-iron steps to its north elevation, with some corrugated iron structures to the west. A rear entrance to the grounds at the northeast comprises a pair of decorative cast-iron gates on stone piers. South of the outbuildings lies a formally-planned walled garden with tall red brick walls to the west and north, bordered by box hedging.
