Description
26 Old Elvet is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of painted brick with a rendered plinth and has a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable coping and a kneeler. The building stands three storeys high and has one wide bay. On the right side, there is a four-panel door set within an architrave that includes a swell frieze and cornice. The windows are sash style: the ground floor has a late 19th-century single window, the first floor features a 20th-century wide tripartite window with glazing bars, and the top floor retains its original tripartite window with bars. There are three brick floor bands and a stepped and cogged eaves cornice, with coping at the left end. The chimney is concealed behind the ridge, and there is a blocked chute entry in the basement.
