Description
Ellenbank is a picturesque marine villa built around 1840 in the style of David Hamilton. This two-storey building features a basement and has advanced and finialed gables with deeply projecting eaves. Constructed from polished ashlar, it has a roughly T-shaped plan with three bays on the north and south elevations. The westmost bay is advanced and includes a gabled south-facing porch supported by square columns, with round-headed slits flanking a gable window. A French window is located on the north gable. The advanced west gable features a full-height canted two-light window and a bracketted cast-iron balcony on the first floor. The windows throughout have lying-pane glazing, with most ground floor windows adorned with consoled and pedimented cornices. The villa has end and axial stacks with grouped square flues and is topped with a slate roof. The property is enclosed on three sides by a rubble-built garden wall, with a polished ashlar dwarf wall to the north that has a moulded coping and gatepiers.
