Statement of Interest

The steading lies to E, and is not included in this listing. There is a cast-iron water pump and tap positioned to N of house. The steading was part of the Edrom House estate. On a more modest scale than the similarly conceived later Broomdykes House, Edrom Mains nonetheless boasts a clearer case for listing in its earlier date, lying-pane windows and more appropriate proportions for an equally plain design.
