[1] Nikolaus Pevsner, in his Buildings of England, notes that the house is "of brick, in a stone county".

[1] In 1968, the house was bought by Anthony Eden, using funds from the sale of his memoirs.

[3] His wife, Clarissa, designed the garden and Eden kept a small herd of Hereford cattle at the farm he purchased at the same time.

Eden died at the house on 14 January 1977 and is buried in the village churchyard.

[6] Alvediston is a Grade II Listed building,[1] with the garages,[7] and the garden walls, which Pevsner noted were "nicely curved",[2] and the gates and gate piers having separate Grade II listings.
