Elven House

Elven House is a former school that has been converted into a house. It was built in 1725, possibly incorporating an earlier structure, and features a facade from the mid-to-late 18th century. The front elevation is made of red brick laid in Flemish bond, while the right gable end is constructed of older brick in a Flemish-type bond. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is two storeys high. There is a high painted moulded brick plinth that extends along the right gable end, and a plain brick eaves band. The roof is continuous with The Old Bakery on the left and is hipped to the right. A multiple brick ridge stack is located towards the left end of the roof.

The building has an irregular arrangement of windows, featuring three twenty-pane sashes in open boxes with splayed rubbed brick voussoirs; one window is to the left of the stack, and two are broadly spaced to the right, all positioned well below the eaves. The ground floor has similar windows. The entrance door consists of six sunk panels and is located under the stack. A Doric porch with a moulded triangular pediment and a slate roof shelters the door.

To the left, there is a two-storey rear wing that is tile-hung and has a lower ridge than the main range. This wing has a plain tile roof that is hipped to the rear, and a stack is located on the long left side. There is also a rear lean-to on the right, with brickwork that is integrated with the gable end. A datestone from 1725 is found on the right gable end.

The house was left to the parish by Sir John Williams in his will dated 1723, with the intention of providing for the education of six local poor boys, along with land to generate income. It was formerly known as The Old School House.
