Elm Vale Farm House

Elm Vale Farm House is a house dating from around 1700, with alterations made during the 19th century and around 1970. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with flared brick headers. The roof is steeply pitched and covered in pantiles. The house is arranged in a five-bay lobby entry plan and stands two storeys and an attic high. A continuous, ovolo-moulded plinth and a similarly moulded plat band run around the building, topped by a dentilled and cogged eaves cornice. The symmetrical central entrance is within a 19th-century closed gabled porch, featuring a four-centred arched entrance, brick quoining, and bargeboards. Windows are 20th-century leaded casements in rustic timber frames, with segmental heads on the ground floor. A central ridge stack has a moulded base to the shaft and incorporates an inserted terracotta bust. The shaped gable ends display moulded kneelers to the lower convex curves, which step to upper concave curves rounded over the head, along with moulded coping and inserted attic lights. A single-storey and attic lean-to outshut extends to the rear right, continuing the plinth, plat band and shaped parapet. The rear first floor has been rebuilt using timber, and includes inserted dormers. The interior was not inspected.
