Description
Elmhurst is an early 19th-century house, later altered and extended, and now used as a nursing home. The house is constructed of red brick, with some areas in English garden-wall bond and others in Flemish bond, and has a slate roof with rebuilt brick stacks. The main façade has a two-window centre range, flanked by two-storey, one-window projecting segmental bows with moulded cornices. A six-panel front door, with glazed upper panels, is set within a doorcase containing panelled reveals and a stone ogee edge-moulded hood supported by ogee brackets, featuring a pair of raised and fielded panels at fanlight level. Ground and first-floor windows flanking the front door, and a splayed window in a re-entrant section to the left, are 6/6 sash windows with brick arches. The windows within the bows are tripartite sashes with painted stone sills and wedge lintels. The roof has flat-roofed, three-light half dormers, corresponding to the three-bay front of the original house. Inside, a staircase is present with turned balusters and coupled newel posts on the landings, and four-panel doors are found throughout. Later alterations and an extension were designed by W Aubrey Thomas.
