The Elms Farmhouse

The Elms Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It has a two-cell lobby-entrance plan and stands two storeys high with attics. The structure is timber framed and plastered, topped with a concrete plaintiled roof that features an original axial chimney made of red brick. The farmhouse has mid-20th century small-pane casements and a boarded entrance door located in a gabled clay-plaintiled porch. The framing is complete and well-exposed, showcasing good close-studwork. Inside, there are chamfered first and attic floor joists laid flat, brick arched fireplaces in the parlour and the chamber above, and a full-height newel staircase. There were alterations made to the rear of the building around 1970.
