The Elms Including Former Barn Range Linked To East End

The Elms, which includes a former barn range linked to the east end, is a farmhouse and barn that has been converted into a single house. It dates back to the 16th century and was used by maltsters from 1695. The west wing was added in the 18th century, and the barn was altered and connected to the main house during the 19th or early 20th century. The structure features a timber frame for the house and barn, with the west wing made of red and black brick and a ground floor casing of timber frame. The upper part is roughcast, and the roofs are steep and covered with old red tiles.

The house is two stories tall and has an internal chimney plan, set back with its south gable facing the road. The lower barn range runs almost parallel to the east and is linked by a single-storey section at its north end. The two-story and attic west wing has its entrance facing south. A large internal stack from the old house has shafts arranged in a diagonal cruciform pattern above a massive base, while there is also a large external chimney on the west gable of the west wing.

The south front features a gabled dormer on the roofslope, a moulded eaves cornice, and a plat band. The roof of the west wing extends to connect with the south end of the old house, which has a triple sash window on the first floor above a canted sash bay window. The west wing has three windows on each floor, with flush-box sash windows that have flat gauged arches and 6/6 panes. The entrance door is recessed with six panels and flush beaded panels, topped by a cambered head in a wooden doorcase with pilasters, a full entablature, and a moulded dripboard.

On the east side of the old house, there are flush casement windows with leaded glazing. The barn on the east may have had a floor inserted around 1695 for use as a malting or malt store. Its long east wall displays exposed timbers with close-studding over a plastered brick base, and red brick infill panels that are painted below the eaves. There is also an internal lateral chimney in the rear part of the barn.
