Elmbank House Peacock House

Elmbank House and Peacock House are two houses that were extended and divided, dating from the early 19th century. The buildings are finished in stucco, with some incised detailing, and feature a low-pitched, hipped slate roof with tile ridges on the front right, and parallel plain tiled roofs in the center, along with low-pitched hipped slate roofs on the left. They stand two stories high with an eaves cornice. There are stacks at the rear of the right-hand range, tapering square stacks at the center valley of the parallel roofs, and taller end stacks on each gable at the front.

Peacock House is located on the right and has a "gable end" facing forward. To the left gable, there is a square bay extension with an arched niche on the ground floor. The first-floor extension to the right juts out with a flat ribbed roof and two plate sashes. Below this is a glazed pentice roof with a half-glazed door and window underneath. The right side features a three-window range with plate glass sashes on the first floor.

The left return front of the wing, which was the former main entrance, has two 16-pane glazing-bar sashes on the first floor set in lugged architrave surrounds. The ground floor projects with a flat roof, containing a tripartite sash to the right and a casement to the left. There is a door with six fielded panels to the left of center, framed in a chamfered architrave surround and topped with a bracketed, modillioned pediment.

To the left end, there is a single-storey link with two plate sashes leading to Elmbank, which features a giant order on the angle to the right. A small sash is located on the first floor, with a projecting ground floor below that has two plate-glass sashes and a half-glazed, leaded door in an architrave surround, situated in the re-entrant angle with the linking range. The right return front has two first-floor glazing-bar sashes and three windows below, one of which is tripartite.

At the rear, there is a giant pilaster order, a double gable end, and a curved link wall to the rear of Elmbank, which includes square bay and angle bay extensions. This property was the home of the poet Thomas Love Peacock from 1823 to 1866.
