Description

Aden House is a late 18th century ruin, primarily roofless, that was originally a two-storey quadrangular structure built of rubble, likely incorporating earlier work. The south front features a layout of one, one, two, one, and one bays, with the end bays advanced and a two-window quoined ashlar pedimented centre-piece.

Significant reconstruction was carried out by John Smith between 1832 and 1833, which included rebuilding the west wing with a higher ground floor. This section is made of ashlar granite and features a Roman Doric columned centre bow topped with a dome, with two windows on either side and consoles at the ground floor, showcasing outstanding merit.

Additionally, an asymmetrically placed Roman Doric column was added to the porte cochere on the south front, which also has a two-window ashlar centre piece with a central chimney. The courtyard is roofed as a central hall, and later alterations included the addition of fireclay top balustrades to the blocking courses.
