Elm Farmhouse

Elm Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to the early to mid-17th century, constructed in two phases. It features a timber frame with plaster and has a front decorated with closely spaced diagonal battens that create a broad herringbone design. The roof is thatched, and there are decorative late 19th-century bargeboards on the gable ends. The building consists of four cells and is one and a half storeys high. The windows are small-paned casements made of uPVC from the 1980s.

The central lobby entrance includes a 19th-century doorway with a cornice and a six-panel door. To the right, there is a cross-entry with another 19th-century six-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed. On the extreme left, there are French windows. The house has one gabled dormer featuring a 17th-century moulded lintel and heavy late 19th-century bargeboards, along with two flat-roofed dormers to the left.

Inside, most of the timbers are concealed. The section to the left of the stack may be the earlier part of the house, with one ground floor room containing substantial plain joists set flat. To the right of the stack, there is a hall and service end. The hall ceiling has 17th-century cross-beams with nicked ogee stop-chamfers, and there is a wide lintel over a blocked fireplace. The service cell has some exposed studding on the upper floor and two blocked windows with ovolo mullions on the front wall. The roof timbers are largely concealed, with side purlins at the right end. A 19th-century straight stair has been tunnelled through the stack.
