Elm House

Elm House is a house that dates back to the early 17th century and has been extended in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame, mostly clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond, with some areas plastered, and is topped with handmade red clay tiles. The main range has three bays and faces approximately southeast, with a central stack, creating a lobby-entrance plan. There is a later one-bay wing added to the rear center. Originally, the house had one storey and attics, but the main range was raised to two full storeys and clad in brick, with an extension to the right in the late 18th century. The rear has lean-to extensions of various sizes and dates, along with a single-storey extension from the 20th century at the rear right.

On each floor, there are three mid-19th century sash windows with three-over-three lights, featuring segmental brick arches only on the ground floor. The entrance has a four-panel door set in a 20th-century gabled porch. The roof is hipped, and the left elevation is made of ashlared plaster, mostly concealed by attached garages. The timber frame includes a significant amount of elm and features primary straight bracing.

Inside, the left ground-floor room has an unstopped chamfered axial beam of elm and a wide wood-burning hearth with 0.23-meter jambs and a chamfered mantel beam with lamb's tongue stops, which has been reduced to half its original size with 19th-century brickwork. There is a 2-panel pine door from the 18th or early 19th century leading to the stair behind the stack. The ground-floor room to the right of the stack has a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops, and three posts treated similarly, along with a small wood-burning hearth from the 20th century.

On the first floor, the original wallplate is exposed in the rear wall, featuring a face-halved and bladed scarf, with lighter framing above where the roof has been raised by approximately one meter. The upper left room has a floor made of butt-edged hardwood boards. The middle room contains two early 18th-century moulded three-plank doors to the left and a plain boarded and battened door to the right, all on original hinges. A plain battened door has been added to the rear of the right ground-floor room, set in a 20th-century frame.
