The Elms

The Elms is a house dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with subsequent alterations. It is two storeys high and has three windows. The house is constructed of brownish multicoloured stock brick with a parapet front. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, covered with slates and gives the appearance of being square, but it is a double-span design with a central gully. The first-floor windows have been replaced with sash windows but retain gauged brick arches. Late 19th-century canted bay windows are on the ground floor. A central prostyle Doric porch features a triglyph frieze, a mutule cornice, and an open pedimented hood. The front door is a six-panel design, set beneath a guilloche moulded cornice and a plain fanlight. Sash windows with glazing bars are present on the returns.

Inside, a curved staircase has a patterned string, while the hall contains two round arches. There are several original moulded cornices and six-panel doors. The interior also includes one late 18th-century fireplace, complete with its grate, and several early Victorian fireplaces. A basement, which is of full height at the rear, was originally a dairy when the house was part of a farm. Within the basement are an old stone sink and remains of a bake-oven. A two-bay rear extension is also present.
