Description
Elm Row is a terrace of four cottages built in the early 19th century, with small rear wings added later in the 19th century. The cottages are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and feature pantile roofs, with fish-scale slate on the rear wings. There are brick stacks on the ridge and at the rear wings. The cottages are two storeys high and have an eight-window range on the first floor, consisting of two-light casements. The ground floor has casements and plank doors beneath brick segmental arches. Some of the casements are set lower to accommodate stairs and provide light to the kitchen and larder. The rear wings contain small casements and plank doors.
Inside, the cottages have seen little alteration and feature a layout that includes a sitting room, kitchen/larder, a landing bedroom, and a bedroom above, with the small later wing added. Notable interior features include small open and cast-iron fireplaces, brick floors, plank doors, straight flight stairs with simple top balustrades, and curving tiebeams. Elm Row is a rare example of an early 19th-century terrace of farmworkers' cottages that remains largely unchanged, situated in the countryside close to the land where the tenants worked. The preservation of many interior features is particularly remarkable.
