Description

The Elm is a 16th-century timber-framed building located on Dunmow Road in Start Hill. It features modern roughcast facades and an old red tile roof, standing two storeys tall. The building has three modern casement windows on both the ground and first floors, with a door situated under a flat hood in a slight recess. There is a slight projection on the south side and a chimney stack located on the north gable end facing the road. Inside, the building showcases much exposed timber framing, a mullioned 16th-century window at the south end of the first floor, and a queen post roof supported by a cambered, chamfered tie beam.

Local climate

The Elm sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
