Eden Hall was originally an 18th C farmhouse that was significantly rebuilt in 1878 in late Victorian Arts & Craft style and is considered of local heritage interest and value. It retains an 18th century fireplace from the original farmhouse building and a grand timber staircases and fireplaces from the 19th century building. (2)
