Description

Elliot Lea is a later 19th century two-storey building that consists of a three-bay block containing two houses. At the center of the ground floor, there is a shared crow-stepped gabled porch. The windows were originally all bipartite, but the mullions have been removed from the windows in the right-hand bay. The building is constructed from coursed squared rubble with random whin blocks. It features straight skews, rectangular coped end stacks, and a slated roof.
