Elms Farm

Elms Farm is a farmhouse with a 16th-century rear wing and a front built in 1759, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features red brick in Flemish bond and coursed limestone at the rear, topped with a pantiled roof that has raised brick coped gables and ashlar kneelers, along with two gable stacks. It is two storeys high with a three-bay front and garrets, which includes a first-floor band and a dentillated eaves course. The central entrance has a 19th-century planked door with moulded muntins set in an ogee-headed Gothick surround, flanked by two three-light mullioned and transomed plain casement windows. On the first floor, there are three matching two-light windows, all featuring flat brick arched heads. Above the central upper window, there is an ashlar datestone dated 1759. The rear range is constructed of rubble and retains a deeply chamfered 16th-century girder with ogee stops, as well as a matching fireplace bressummer. Inside, there is a notable mid-18th-century turned baluster staircase, some raised and fielded double panelled doors, and a mid-19th-century cast iron fire surround in the left-hand ground floor room.
