Description
The Elms Centre was originally built as a Gothic style church hall and schools. It features snecked Pennant stone with bathstone dressings, and has slate and tiled roofs. The building has a gabled entrance bay that rises two storeys, with an upper window consisting of three lancets set under an arch adorned with stiff-leaf capitals, and an entrance doorway below. To the left, there is a polygonal stair turret topped with a steep tiled pavilion roof, which has tall narrow windows with lights at two levels. To the right, a square stair tower with two stages includes an open work parapet with corner turrets, stepped buttresses, an arched window on the upper floor, and a square-headed window on the ground floor. To the left of the entrance block, there is a further single-storey gabled block featuring a three-lancet window. To the right of the entrance block, there is a single-storey block with a splayed bay window (with a gable above), flanked by a window on the left and a doorway on the right, both with gablets above.
