Description
Elm Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, built in two phases. It features a timber frame with roughcast rendering and a roof covered in corrugated asbestos sheets. The building has two storeys and includes various casement windows, primarily from the 19th and mid-20th centuries. There is a boarded entrance door on the right and a half-glazed door on the left. Inside, there is an internal axial stack, and the modernised interior reveals some of the original structure, which is papered over, visible at the first floor level.
