Elm Farmhouse

Elm Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600 or earlier. It features timber-framing and painted rubble, with exposed framing arranged in square panels. The building has an H-plan layout, with cross-wings that each consist of one bay and painted rubble on the ground floor. The left-hand (north) wing has a gable truss with two collars and vertical struts, while the right-hand cross-wing is similar but includes V-struts above the upper collar. The central section is rendered and has one storey with an attic. On the ground floor, there is a casement window with a segmental head, and above it, a dormer. A door is located to the left of centre within a gabled porch. There are chimneys on the outer walls of the cross-wings and on the ridge to the right of the door. Some of the exposed framing has been repaired with applied timbers. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in January 1987. The age of the building is not immediately clear from the outside, as the low eaves height of the central section suggests the possibility of an open hall.
