Pelham House

Pelham House is a large house built around 1780, with later additions, and is currently empty as of 1988. The building features ashlar stonework, with some rubble at the rear. The east elevation has two storeys and five bays, with a three-storey, three-bay centre that projects forward under a pediment. It has a top frieze and cornice, as well as sill bands. The windows are sash style with glazing bars; those on the ground floor are adorned with architraves, friezes, and consoled cornices. The entrance is framed by an architrave and a Tetrastyle Doric portico. A belvedere lights the stair hall. The five-bay returns are similar, featuring pilaster strips and cornices, with each return having a rectangular bay window with tripartite sash. There is a simpler three-bay extension with a plain cornice and some triple-sashed windows to the north, as well as a more basic three-bay service wing and a 20th-century extension to the west, which is not of special interest and has single-storey flat-roofed wings. Inside, there is a semicircular stair hall with a flying stair that has iron balusters and a door to the first floor. The interior also includes many fireplaces, plaster cornices, and doorcases with swan-neck pediments.
