Elms Farmhouse

Elms Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with a medieval core that was largely rebuilt in the mid 17th century. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, with part of the facade faced in colourwashed brick. The roof is tiled with plain tiles at the front and pantiles at the rear. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. There are four windows, which are 18th to 19th century casements without glazing bars. The entrance features a 19th century four-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed with diamond-leaded panes.

Inside, there is an internal stack with a largely original shaft. The Victorianized interior conceals much of the ground floor structure. The hall has a bridging beam with massive solid arched braces to the wallposts, one of which survives in an altered form and may be the remains of a medieval raised-aisle truss. Above the hall fireplace is a lintel with mutilated embattled decoration. The parlour features chamfered joists, and there is some plain 17th century studding in the rear wall at first floor level. The roof over the parlour has queen posts, and staggered butt purlins are present over the hall. Additionally, there are remains of a medieval moat surrounding the property.
