138 Elliott Street is a house and attached screen wall, built in 1825 and initially known as Manley House. It was constructed for William Eckersley Manley of Atherton, a GP, surgeon and local civic campaigner. From the late-C19 the property was in dual domestic and commercial use as Elliott Street developed into a busy commercial street. In the mid to late C20 the building was an office and then a dental surgery. It was sold as a residential property in 2014.

138 Elliott Street is built of red brick, laid in Flemish bond, with a Welsh slate roof. It is of two storeys, and of three bays with a carriage and pedestrian gate in a screen wall to the left. The house has two nosed stone steps up to a central reproduction panel door with fluted side pilasters and a fanlight with radial glazing bars under a segmental brick arch. The flanking bays and first floor have projecting stone sills to eight-over-eight paned sash windows under flat arches. There are brick end chimney stacks to each end of the front and rear roof slopes. The screen wall has a boarded single and double door opening under three-centred arches and a coping to the top. To the rear is a stair-window with a round-headed sash with glazing bars.

The interior has an entrance hall with six-panel doors in reeded architraves with foliate corner bosses and cornices, an egg-and-dart ceiling cornice and a three-centred arch on foliate consoles. The front right room has a Tudor-arched cast-iron fire-basket in a marble surround with a reeded cornice and four leaf clover motifs. The staircase has a coiled handrail on stick balusters.
