Eden Hall

This is a late 19th century villa, with alterations made later, built in a stripped Tudor-Jacobean style. It’s constructed of squared stone with ashlar dressings, featuring chamfered and moulded details. A base course runs along the bottom, and the principal gables have blank square panels. The windows use a combination of stone and timber mullions.

The south elevation is symmetrical and three bays wide. A narrow, gabled bay sits at the centre, with a projecting tripartite window on the ground floor, a corniced detail, and a blocking course. Above that, a bipartite window breaks the eaves within a gabled dormerhead. The wider bays to the sides have canted five-bay windows on the ground floor and two single windows in the gableheads on the first floor.

The north (entrance) elevation, again three bays wide, features a gabled bay on the outer left, which projects slightly and has a tripartite window at ground level, and a single window on the first floor. A door, originally a window, is in the centre bay, accompanied by a three-pane fanlight, a simple canopied porch, and a dormerheaded window on the first floor. The outer right bay previously had a turret-framed porch leading to the original entrance; this is now a square-headed glazed area at ground level with the original dormerheaded window above.

The west elevation is also three bays wide; the right bay is gabled and advanced with a window on each floor. The centre bay has a window on each floor, the first floor window breaking the eaves with a dormerhead. The bay to the far left features two windows on the ground floor and a dormerheaded window above.

A lower, two-storey gabled service wing extends from the rear of the building to the southwest. Its southeast-facing elevation has a window in each bay on the ground floor, and a gabled dormerhead above on the first floor. The northeast gable end forms the boundary wall of a courtyard to the rear of the house.

The windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass glazing in the multi-light ground floor windows and 12-pane glazing on the first floor. The roof is covered in grey slate. The roof also has ashlar coped skews with block skewputts and finials, as well as decorative rainwater hoppers. The chimneys are made of coped stone.

Inside, the villa features panelled window shutters and soffits, some fine plaster cornices, and marble chimneypieces.

A low coped boundary wall with stone piers topped with pyramidal caps is located at the service court. To the northeast of the main house, there is a buttressed walled garden covering 0.72 acres, open to the south and situated on a slope.
