Description
Elm Tree Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been combined into one house, dating from the early 18th century. The building has been extended at the rear in 1970 and 1980. It is 1½ storeys high and consists of 6 bays. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with clay pantiled roofs. A central internal chimney stack features a plain red brick shaft. The front elevation includes four mid-20th century casement windows and two gabled dormers. Access is through part of the new extension at the rear.
Inside, the framing is exposed, displaying thin studs bisected by primary braces, with joists set on edge. Each original cottage had a typical layout, including a 2-bay living room, an adjacent one-bay walk-in larder, and a corner stair. Upstairs, there is a main bedroom and a landing bedroom. The chimney stack has two back-to-back hearths on the ground floor, with timber lintels above and a bake oven to one side. The original stairs and partitions on the ground floor have been removed.
