Edrom House

Edrom House is an early 18th century house, with later additions and alterations. It is a 5-bay, 2-storey classical house with a basement and attic, and a 2-bay, single-storey addition to the southwest. The main house is built of droved ashlar with polished ashlar dressings; some basement repairs are rendered. The rear is sandstone rubble with polished dressings, rendered at ground level, with harl-pointing. The northeast elevation is a mix of harled basement with sandstone rubble above, and sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, while the southwest addition is harled with concrete dressings. A raised rusticated quoins and moulded eaves course are present.

The southeast elevation features twelve steps with concrete treads and a plain iron handrail, leading to a Baroque-style doorpiece with a broad architrave, consoled segmental pediment containing a keystone, and a two-leaf glazed door with ten-pane upper panels. A window sits above the door at the first floor. Windows are present in each flanking bay on both storeys. The two-bay southwest addition has a window in each bay, with a further window in a set-back bay to the outer left.

The southwest elevation shows an advanced tripartite window with an entablature and a platformed roof, at the centre of the southwest addition.

The northwest elevation includes a two-storey projection to the centre. Windows are arranged on each floor of the bays to the right of the centre, while the northwest-facing side of the projection is blank. A window is present on each floor of the bay to the outer left, and at the first floor of the bay to the inner left. The southwest return elevation of the projection has irregular fenestration. The three-bay northeast return of the projection features a window on each floor of the bay to the centre and to the right. A later bowed addition sits in the re-entrant angle to the northeast, with a modern, partly-glazed door to the northwest return. A two-storey projection extends from the outer right, connecting to outbuildings.

The main house has 18-pane timber sash and case windows, while the projection addition has 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is slate-piended, with brick stacks flanking the centre and at the gablehead of the projection on the northwest side. Later dormers are present, with a bipartite gablehead in the center, flanked by platformed tripartites. A modern dormer is situated on the northeast side.

The interior remains unseen as of 1996.

Outbuildings are located to the northeast of the rear projection. These comprise a roughly symmetrical, four-bay group. A single-storey, monopitch, two-bay group is centrally positioned, featuring two segmental-arched door openings in the bay to the right, and a similar door opening in the bay to the left, with a small window to the right. Flanking two-storey bays possess a two-leaf boarded door to the left of the outer right bay, a window to its right, and a first-floor window. A segmental-arched doorway with a split boarded door is situated at the centre of the outer left bay, flanked by small windows; a first-floor window breaks the eaves, with a gabled dormerhead above.

A sandstone rubble bridge-cum pump house is located to the southeast of the house.

Square-plan, broadly-droved ashlar gatepiers, with pyramidal coping, mark the end of the drive, also to the southeast of the house. Two-leaf wrought-iron ornamental gates complete the entrance.
