Pelham House

Pelham House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with earlier origins in the rear wing. There have been 20th-century alterations and additions to the left and rear. The building is constructed of brick, which is colourwashed, with a small rendered section on the ground floor to the right. The front features a slate roof, while the rear has pantiles and concrete tiles on the rear wing. The house has an L-shaped plan with a central entrance front comprising two rooms; the room to the left has been altered in the 20th century to serve as a rear entrance hall. It is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays.

The entrance features a doorcase with glazed double-leaf doors beneath an original Gothick fanlight set in an arched reveal. The windows are Venetian sash types with glazing bars, flush wooden surrounds, and brick arches, including a round-arched sash window above the entrance on the first floor. There is a stucco modillion eaves cornice, and the right gable is stone-coped with a shaped kneeler, while the gable adjoining the left extension is lead-coped. The house has end stacks.

To the right, there is a lower two-storey, two-bay return facing the road, which has 19th- to 20th-century two-light casements in original openings with cambered brick arches and a coped gable. There is also a single-storey, single-bay extension to the right with a similar window and a tumbled brick gable.

Inside, there is an open-well staircase featuring a ramped and wreathed handrail, fluted column-on-vase balusters with square knops, and a dentilled plaster cornice in the ground floor right room. The original first-floor chimneypieces have pulvinated friezes, one of which features a dentilled cornice. The windows and doors have fielded-panel shutters and architraves, with earlier 18th-century two-panelled doors in the rear wing. The house is reputed to have been a hunting lodge for the Pelhams, Earls of Yarborough.
