Description
Elms Farmhouse is a 17th century timber-framed and plastered house, featuring some brick and flint pebble facing. The building has two storeys and a three-window range on both the east and west fronts, with casement windows. The roof is made of corrugated iron, which likely replaced an original thatched roof, and there is an old central chimney stack that has been rebuilt at the top.
