The Elms (Number 1)

The Elms (Number 1) is a house, originally built in the early 17th century and refronted around 1770. It was later subdivided in 1925, with 20th-century extensions added to the rear of Number 1. The house is constructed of red brick with a gault-brick front, and has a slate roof with stacks located left of centre and at the right end.

The exterior presents a three-storey, six-window front with pilastered corners. There are two 6-panel doors within pedimented Gibbs surrounds, with the door on the left being inserted in 1925. The ground floor has five windows, each with recessed 6/6 unhorned sashes under gauged skewback arches. The first floor has six windows arranged in pairs. The attic has a raised parapet concealing the remains of three former dormer windows, fitted with 3/3 flush-framed sashes. The rear features a two-storey wing with various sashes and casements.

The interior of Number 1 on the ground floor includes a cruciform sunk-quadrant moulded bridging beam with jewelled tongue stops, and a rebuilt open brick fireplace. There is an early 19th-century staircase with stick balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The original staircase to the attic retains a closed string, turned newels with finials, turned balusters, and a roll-moulded handrail. The roof features two tiers of staggered and butt purlins with curved windbraces throughout the range.

In Number 3, the ground floor main room has complete large-framed and fielded panelling, a moulded cornice, and a boxed bridging beam. A rebuilt brick fireplace is located on the north wall. The first floor exhibits square bridging beams with run-out stops. The roof structure is similar to that of Number 1.
