The southernmost of a pair of houses set back from the road just N of the junction with Bryn Lupus Road.  

 

 

Built as a pair with Woodville by the Mostyn estate in the final decade of the C19 and shown on the 1900 Ordnance Survey. Similar in style to The Nook, the 3 houses forming a distinct group.  

Belongs to a group of Edenhurst and Woodville. A reflected pair of picturesque Domestic-revival 2-storey houses. Of brick in the lower storey, timber-framed in the upper storey, under tile roofs on overhanging eaves, with moulded finials and brick stacks to the gables and centre. Each house is of 4 irregular bays, of which the outer are set back and the inner are broader and beneath a gables with diagonal bracing (of which Edenhurst retains only the base of its original finial). Spanning these gables is a slightly higher axial roof line incorporating the central stack. Entrances are in the bays set back from the ends, which are brought forward in the lower storey, and have angle buttresses to the sides. They have panel doors under segmental-pointed heads. Each has a gabled porch canopy on moulded wooden brackets, and with moulded trusses. Windows are wood-framed casements, of which Woodville retains original leaded glass, with small-pane coloured frosted glass over transoms. On the inner sides of each entrance bay is a narrow bay with narrow 1-light window in each storey under a hipped roof. Inner bays have 4-light bay windows in the lower storey and 3-light windows in the upper storey. Outer return walls of the entrance bays have small windows. The set-back outer bays have 3-light windows, segmental-pointed in the lower storey and beneath gables in the upper storey. In the L gable end Edenhurst has a narrow pointed ground-floor window to the R of the stack. The R gable end and rear of Woodville have pebble-dashed walls.  

Not inspected.  

Listed for its special architectural interest as one of a group of 3 late Victorian suburban houses of distinctive architectural character and retaining fine original detail.
