Elm Fire Engine House and attached shed

The Elm Fire Engine House, built in 1847, is a single-storey structure with a small rectangular plan. It is constructed of red brick laid in stretcher bond, with some replacement bricks on the west elevation, and features a slate roof.

The front (south) elevation has an elliptical headed door opening, which contains early double-leaf timber doors with wrought-iron strap hinges that open outward onto the road. Above the door, there is a sandstone plaque inscribed with ‘ENGINE HOUSE / 1847’. The rear (north) elevation shows a blocked window opening and two cast-iron wall-ties. The slate roof is equipped with both cast-iron and replacement rainwater goods on the north and south sides.

Inside, the walls are painted brick, and the floor is made of dry earth.

Attached to the west gable is a single-storey structure, believed to have been built around 1850, which is currently used as a garden shed. This structure also features red brick walls laid in stretcher bond, with double-leaf timber doors on the north elevation and a blocked door opening on the south elevation. There is a window opening on the west gable with a timber shutter. The slate roof is similarly serviced by cast-iron and replacement rainwater goods on both elevations, and the interior has painted brick walls and a dry earth floor.
