Description
Pelham Place is a mansion built around 1820-1830 in the Tudor style. It has an L-shaped layout, with two main facades that are symmetrically designed, and a single-storey domestic wing at the rear that extends northwards as a screen wall connecting various service buildings. There is also a 20th-century block that partially fills the internal angle of the structure. The building features a plain slate roof and cemented walls.
The front (east) facade is two storeys high with an attic and has three windows. It is adorned with three gables, the middle one being smaller, and has weathered coping that continues as a parapet between the gables. Octagonal turrets sit on ogee bases at the tops of the two larger gables, as well as at the corners and centers of the shorter lengths of the parapet. The upper windows are fitted with hoodmoulds, while the central lower window opens onto the roof of the bay. The other windows are designed as two-storey splayed bays, featuring crenellated tops and painted window heads.
The ground floor includes a seven-bay verandah supported by thin buttresses between four-centred arches, topped with a crenellated parapet and cusped spandrels. The south elevation mirrors the three-gabled design of the front, with six windows arranged regularly on both the first and ground floors, also featuring hoodmoulds, Tudor arches, and sashes set in reveals. There are open porches projecting from each side, with the east side porch being the south end of the front verandah. The north end of the building is gabled and features a tall porte-cochere with Perpendicular details on the three arches and the entrance doorway.
