Description
High Elm is a house from the mid 17th century, constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, featuring black boarded gable ends. The roof is gabled and covered with peg tiles, and there is a continuous lean-to at the rear, part of which is contemporary and has an asbestos roof. An off-centre rectangular stack is located behind the ridge line. The house has two storeys; on the first floor, there are two 2-light 19th-century casements with small panes and one 20th-century casement. The ground floor includes two 3-light 20th-century casements with large square panes, a simple entrance door, and a small 20th-century casement. Inside, the structure reveals box framing of two bays with unjowled posts and stop-chamfered bridging joists. There is an 'Essex corner cupboard' from the late 18th or early 19th century, featuring an ogee head, serpentine shelf, fitted cupboard, and a curved crest of shelving. Additionally, some 18th-century panelled doors with architraves are present.
