Description
Ellerton Abbey is a house dating to around 1830, built for the Fore Erle-Drax family. Constructed of roughcast rubble with sandstone dressings, it has a stone slate roof. The house is of Regency style and is arranged around three sides of a courtyard, formed by the main house and projecting service wings to the rear. The main elevation has five bays, with the end bays treated as short wings, which project slightly and have hipped roofs. A central portico features two Doric columns in antis. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, and the elevation is further detailed with quoins and a sill band to the first floor. Two ridge stacks are located between bays 1 and 2, and bays 3 and 4. The rear of the house features a verandah supported by cast-iron columns, and a round-headed staircase window. The inner elevations facing the courtyard have lead rainwater goods. Inside, there is an open-well staircase with cast-iron balusters, as well as shutters and cornices in the main rooms.
