Description
The Elwells and adjoining farm buildings is a house built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of brick and features a low-pitched Welsh slate roof. The house has three storeys and three bays, with an additional bay to the left of the doorway, which is set in a late 19th-century small gabled porch that has dentilled decoration. The left-hand window is a three-light casement with a transom, while the right-hand windows are both canted bays. The first floor and attic windows are also three-light casements, with the first-floor windows featuring transoms. All windows have splayed flat-arched brick heads. The house has gable and axial stacks and projecting brick sillbands. Adjacent to the house is a high barn, also made of brick with a Welsh slate roof, which extends across the full height of the cart entry. This barn has two windows at an upper level in its lower section, with all other openings located on its inner side. There is a lower range beyond the barn that features a moulded eaves cornice.
