Ellastone Old House

Ellastone Old House is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is built of ashlar stone and features a hipped clay tile roof with ashlar integral end stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the main house aligned north-south and a service wing at the rear, along with an 18th-century extension to the north.

The main house, which is to the right and slightly lower than the rendered extension on the left, has two storeys and an attic. It is characterized by a moulded plinth, coping, and floor bands, with the attic storey having a moulded band. The façade is framed by giant rusticated corner pilasters and features two-light mullioned windows with chamfered mullions and raised, moulded surrounds that contain fixed lights and top-opening glazing bar windows. The entrance has a Provincial Baroque doorcase with a central two-leaved panelled door, the upper two panels being glazed. This is flanked by Tuscan pilasters leading to a cornice hood, and is accessed by a flight of stone steps in a semi-circular plan. There is also a mounting block at the left-hand corner, a moulded eaves cornice, and a central gabled dormer.

The extension has two storeys and three windows, featuring glazing bar sashes. There is a single light window on the ground floor to the left and right, and a two-light mullioned window with a chamfered mullion in the centre of the ground floor. Additionally, there are 20th-century garage doors to the left of centre and a stable door to the left of centre, with a coped verge and an integral end stack to the left.

Inside, the house includes an inglenook fireplace in the front left room, exposed ceiling beams, and a straight flight staircase with a winder and turned balusters. The roof trusses consist of curved principals with collars and double trenched purlins.
