Edington Mains

Edington Mains is a farmhouse dating possibly from the late 17th to early 18th century, with a 19th-century wing added at a right angle to the front, and later additions and alterations. The farmhouse is two storeys with an attic, originally a rectangular three-bay design, with a taller two-storey wing adjoined at the front to create an L-shaped plan. A flat-roofed porch sits in the re-entrant angle, with a lean-to glazed enclosure above.

The original farmhouse is constructed of heavily-pointed, tooled sandstone rubble, predominantly pink, with sandstone ashlar dressings. The 19th-century wing uses tooled sandstone rubble with droved surrounds to the openings. Tooled rubble quoins are present. A single-storey ancillary structure is located to the west.

The south (front) elevation features a modern, two-leaf glazed door centred at ground level, with a single window above it. Flanking bays contain single windows on both floors. A piended dormer is set off to the right of the centre. The projecting wing to the right has tripartite windows at both floors, with narrow side-lights.

The west (side) elevation shows the flat-roofed porch in the re-entrant angle, with a two-leaf timber panelled door, a plate glass fanlight, and a consoled cornice. A lean-to glazed addition links the upper floors of both wings. A gabled wing juts out to the left, with single windows at both floors and an attic light above. A single-storey, gabled block is adjoined to the left, with a lean-to greenhouse to the front.

The north (rear) elevation displays the original three-bay house (appearing as five bays at ground level) with modern sliding doors centred at ground level. Single windows are aligned above the centre door, and at ground level in the flanking bays. Further single windows are positioned at both floors in the bays to the left and right. A recessed two-storey wing is located to the outer left, with a timber door and small single window in a single-storey projection at ground level. A single window is centred in a single-storey block projecting to the outer right.

The east (side) elevation of the 19th-century wing features a large, round-arched stair window at the centre and single windows at both floors in the bay to the right. A single window is located at ground level in the bay to the outer right.

The windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass and 4- or 12-pane glazing. Grey slate covers the pitched and piended roofs, with stone-coped skews, rendered and brick-built ridge and apex stacks, and various circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

The interior was not inspected in 1998.

The ancillary structure, a near rectangular-plan block possibly a garage, is constructed of harl-pointed sandstone rubble with tooled rubble dressings. It features a chamfered angle, forming part of the garden wall, and has large, square-headed (blocked) openings to the north. Small rooflights are present, along with a grey slate roof, sandstone ridging, and a small stack to the west with a single circular can. The interior is used as a store.

Rubble-coped, tooled rubble sandstone boundary walls partially enclose the site. Circular-plan, tooled rubble gatepiers flank the entrance, with hemispherical caps and a timber vehicular gate that is broken.
