Description

Elm Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with parts cased and reroofed in the early 19th century, and altered in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with end walls cased in red brick and has a machine-tiled roof. It has a three-cell cross entry plan and is two storeys high. The entrance is located to the right of the centre in a cross entry position, featuring a six-panelled door with an architrave and cornice. The windows are 20th-century leaded cross casements, and there is an offset plinth and boxed eaves. A ridge stack is positioned to the left of centre with a rebuilt cap, while there is an internal stack at the right end. The gable ends have coped parapets with moulded kneelers. To the left end, there is a one-storey outbuilding with 20th-century additions to the rear. Inside, the hall features crossed double roll moulded chamfered binding beams that continue onto damaged quadruple roll moulded storey posts and a double roll moulded upper end beam. The original parlour contains bar stop chamfered cross axial binding beams, with the frame concealed.
