High Elm Farmhouse

High Elm Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from around 1600 and is currently under restoration. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. It is constructed with a timber frame that is rendered, displaying raised panels on the front. The roof is covered with double Roman tiles and has plain bargeboards.

An internal chimney stack has a large rectangular base with attached square shafts set diagonally. The tops of the shafts have been rebuilt and finished with a dentil course, and they rest on cutwater bases. The farmhouse has 4-light casement windows with a horizontal bar, which were added in 1983. The frame consists of three bays, including a chimney bay, and all framing is exposed inside.

The walls have widely spaced, full-height studs, with middle rails morticed into the sides of the main posts in front of the studs to support the ends of the joists. The corners feature reversed braces. The main beams in both ground storey rooms have ovolo-moulding, while the joists are chamfered with pyramid stops. Ovolo-moulding is also present on the fireplace lintels and on the windows introduced into the two rooms to the west of the stack. All original windows have diamond mullions. The upper ceilings have joists set on edge, and the roof space has been in use since the building's inception. The roof itself is a five-bay structure with clasped purlins and reversed, inward-sloping windbraces in each bay.
