Description
Eley House, located on Low Causeway in Culross, dates back to 1624 and has undergone later alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay house with a single-storey wing to the west, a rear lean-to, and a modern rear porch added in the late 20th century. The exterior features harled elevations.
The south elevation is symmetrical, with a central door and flanking windows, and three first-floor windows centered above at the eaves. There are two windows on the left wing. The west elevation shows the gable of the house, with a first-floor window to the left and two windows in the porch to the left, leading to a plain gable on the west wing. The north elevation has a lean-to on the right with a window to the left, and another lean-to on the left that extends further, also with a window to the right. The windows have been replaced, and there is a modern porch to the right with a door. The east elevation is only visible from the first floor and features a plain gable wall.
The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case, while the doors are replacement timber and glazed. The pitched roof is covered with replacement clay pantiles, and the rear roof extends over the later additions. The original house has crowstepped gables and gabled apex stacks. The interior has been modernized in the late 20th century.
In front of the house, there is a low rubble garden wall on the east and west sides, which curves at the corners. It has a droved face with ashlar coping stones and a central timber gate.
