Description
Elm House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with some alterations. It is built of narrow red brick in English garden wall bond and has a renewed pantiled roof with brick chimneys. The front of the house is three stories high and has three bays. It features a central, replaced six-panel door with a four-pane overlight, set within a 20th-century fluted doorcase that has a bracketed hood. The windows are replaced sashes located under flat arches made of gauged brick, with twelve panes on the ground and first floors, and six panes above. The eaves cornice is made of wood and has a renewed dentilled design. The roof includes coped gable parapets, shaped kneelers, and two rebuilt end chimneys. The sides of the house have truncated external stacks. Inside, the modernised interior retains a four-flight, cut-string, dogleg staircase featuring turned balusters and a wreathed and ramped handrail. There are also 20th-century rear additions that are not of special interest.
