Elderslie, Including The Stables

Elderslie, including the stables, is a house dating from the 17th century, which has been extended and altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of red and blue brick, covered in pebbledash, and features plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with attics at the center and right, and has a prominent multiple stack at the front center.

The front facade has three gables in the center, flanked by smaller, steeper pitched outer gables, all with wooden eaves boards at the base. There are four leaded attic casements, one for each gable except the left one. The first floor has 'cross' windows, totaling six across, with one blocked window on the right. The ground floor includes one 'cross' window on the left, a four-light window to the left of center, and two casements to the right of center.

A gabled, rendered porch sits at the center over a basement, featuring a first-floor 'cross' window above a six-panelled door, with a single-light window on the ground floor return walls. The left-hand return front has 19th-century extensions to the center gable, with glazing bar sash windows and a tripartite window in the ground floor of the gable.

At the rear, there are five gables with three attic windows and a lower range to the left that links to the stables. The rear includes six first-floor windows, one of which is an oriel window, and a bow window on the ground floor to the right with a balcony across the first floor and casement doors.

The stables at the rear feature three windows on both the ground and first floors, with an external stair to the right leading to the casement doors. The former right-hand return front has stables built of 18th-century brick, with stone at the rear and a plat band over the ground floor. There are three three-light windows on the first floor and two stilted-arched windows on the ground floor to the right, along with three windows on the ground floor to the left. A panelled door is located to the right of center, topped with a cambered head, over-light, and flanking pilaster piers, while a half-glazed door is positioned to the left in the angle with the old range, sheltered by a hip-roofed hood on one turned pillar.
