Description
Elm House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century, with an addition from the late 18th century and some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with gritstone dressings. The left side has synthetic roof tiles, while the right side features stone slates and stone stacks.
The house is two storeys tall and has quoins. The main front has four windows arranged in a 2:2 pattern, with a projecting late 18th-century block on the right. This block includes a central doorway with a 20th-century lean-to porch that has glazing bars, flanked by two 3-light mullion casement windows. Above the doorway is a central oval plaque, also flanked by similar 3-light mullion windows. The earlier block to the left is set back and features a central 3-light casement in a chamfered ashlar surround, with doorways on either side that have 20th-century lean-to porches with glazing bars. Above this, there is a 2-light casement window and a 10-pane window with iron glazing bars to the left.
To the left, there is a projecting outbuilding wing with various irregularly spaced casement windows, a front gable that features large garage doors, and a casement window above. The rear of the building has five windows, some of which have small-paned glazing. A single-storey extension obscures a single window with a chamfered surround and a 2-light window with a chamfered mullion and surround.
Inside, the first floor has a corridor with exposed massive rough-hewn purlins and rafters on the rear wall. The doorways have timber lintels and plank doors, and some windows are present. The ground floor has differing levels, with some beams being chamfered and others roughly hewn. There are two remaining fire areas.
