Description

High Elms is a villa, now used as offices, dating from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a roughly rectangular plan with later 20th-century extensions to the right. Designed in a Gothic style, it stands two storeys high with a cellar and features three bays that are symmetrical. The central bay is narrower and slightly recessed, while the outer bays are gabled. The exterior includes a stone plinth, a string course, and stone-coped gables with raking parapets that have been faced with later cement.

The central entrance has a Tudor-arched doorway with replacement divided doors, a moulded stone surround, hollow spandrels, a hoodmould, and a panel with a quatrefoil motif above it. The ground floor features cross-windows, while the first floor has three-light windows, all with slender stone mullions and arched lights. The windows in the centre and to the right on the first floor have small panes, while the others have altered glazing. The building is topped with two ridge chimneys. The interior has not been inspected.
