Elm Tree Farmhouse

Elm Tree Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that has been converted into two houses, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of orange and yellow brick in English bond and features a roof made of pantiles and concrete tiles. The building has a double-depth plan with two rooms and a central entrance hall on the east front. There is a slightly projecting staircase outshut at the rear and a narrow adjoining outshut to the left. To the left is a later 18th to early 19th century wing, and to the right is a small canted addition from the mid-19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has three symmetrical bays. The entrance features a panelled door, which was boarded over at the time of the survey, set in a reveal with an architrave beneath a stucco flat arch. To the right of the entrance is a 16-pane sash window, while to the left is a sash window with eight panes in the lower half and two panes in the upper half, both in flush wooden architraves with sills beneath stucco flat arches. The first floor has 16-pane sashes in similar surrounds to those on the ground floor. The right two bays have a moulded wooden eaves board, while the left has altered eaves. The gables are stone-coped with shaped kneelers, and the end stacks were rebuilt in the 20th century. The left bay has a concrete tile roof, while the two right bays have pantiles.

On the right return, there is a projecting ground-floor canted brick bay with a 12-pane sliding sash window and a sill beneath a stucco flat arch, topped with a hipped roof. There is also a door to the first floor, which was boarded over at the time of the survey, beneath a segmental arch, with a small ashlar block to the left that has no visible inscription. The rear of the building features a round-headed stair window with margin lights, a first-floor 12-pane sliding sash to the left, and a 16-pane sliding sash to the right.

Inside, the ground-floor front rooms have chamfered spine beams and a pilastered marble chimney-piece in the left room. The farmhouse is reputed to contain a good main staircase, but it was not fully inspected. At the time of the survey in April 1987, the building was empty and unoccupied.
