Description
Elworth Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a slate roof with projecting eaves, which were added in the 19th century. There are brick stacks at each gable end, and the building is two storeys high with three windows. The windows are three-light stone-mullioned with hollow-chamfers, and the 20th-century wooden casements have horizontal glazing bars. Above the windows are returned stone labels. The front door is centrally located, flush-panelled with two top lights and has rubble-stone voussoirs above it.
To the left of the main structure is a gabled-in storehouse with a thatched roof, and there is a brick stack on the east gable. The gable end features two-light cast-iron casements and a 19th-century plank door in the angle. Inside, there is an open fireplace in the right-hand gable. An outhouse, used as a wood-store, is attached to the west gable end and has a pentice slate roof. The front of the outhouse has a plank door with a wooden frame.
