138 Elliot Street and attached Screen Wall

138 Elliot Street is a house with an attached screen wall, built in 1825. Originally known as Manley House, it was constructed for William Eckersley Manley of Atherton, who was a general practitioner, surgeon, and local civic campaigner. From the late 19th century, the property was used for both domestic and commercial purposes as Elliott Street became a busy commercial street. In the mid to late 20th century, it served as an office and then a dental surgery, before being sold as a residential property in 2014.

The house is built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high, with three bays and a carriage and pedestrian gate incorporated into a screen wall to the left. Two nosed stone steps lead to a reproduction panel door, featuring fluted side pilasters and a fanlight with radial glazing bars, all set under a segmental brick arch. The flanking bays and first floor have projecting stone sills to eight-over-eight paned sash windows, each set under a flat arch. Brick chimney stacks are located at each end of the front and rear roof slopes. The screen wall features a boarded single and double door opening under three-centred arches, topped with a coping. A stair-window with a round-headed sash window containing glazing bars is located at the rear of the property.

The interior includes an entrance hall with six-panel doors in reeded architraves, featuring foliate corner bosses and cornices, and a three-centred arch supported on foliate consoles. A front right room contains a Tudor-arched cast-iron fire basket in a marble surround, with a reeded cornice and four leaf clover motifs. The staircase has a coiled handrail and stick balusters.
