Description

Elm Cottage is a 17th-century cottage. It has a timber frame with brick nogging, and a hipped thatched roof with a half-hip to the right. A stack, or chimney, is located on the left side. The roof slopes upwards over the attic windows. There are two casement windows to the right of the front door, and an attic window to the left. A weatherboarded single-story building attached to the left is not of particular architectural interest.
