Description
Elm Tree Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is timber-framed and has a colourwashed stucco render that is grooved to imitate ashlar, topped with a pantile roof. The building has two storeys with an attic.
On the front facing the road, there is a deep brick plinth. To the right, there are three 3-light casement windows, and on the first floor, there are three 2-light casements. The right-hand gable end has a hipped roof, while the left-hand gable end is a standard gable. A ridge stack with two flues is located to the right of the centre.
At the rear, there is an extensive outshut that runs along the entire ground floor, featuring a catslide roof and a gabled dormer window to the left of centre. Inside, the farmhouse has plain ceiling beams and joists.
