Description
Elcombe House is a detached house that dates from the late 17th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone and features a thatched roof, while the 19th-century addition has a Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. The house is designed in an L-plan and is two stories tall with a three-window entrance at the rear.
The entrance includes a 20th-century door in a porch on the right, and to the left are French windows, a six-pane sash window, and a two-light casement. On the first floor, there are three two-light casements, and an attic dormer features one two-light casement. The right side of the house has two-light casements on the main structure, while the early 19th-century extension has 12-pane sash windows with flat arches and keystones.
At the rear, there are two-light casements and a 20th-century door leading to a lean-to extension on the right. The wing of the house has 12-pane sashes with keystones. Inside, the property features chamfered beams with step and run-out stops, exposed joists, and an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel that has run-out stops on stone jambs.
