Description
Elm Tree Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber framed with exposed close studding and plaster infill, partially underbuilt with painted brick, and features tile hanging with a plain tiled roof. The building has a lobby entry plan consisting of four framed bays and stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a continuous jetty that returns to the right on a dragon post. The roof is hipped, with a stack located to the left.
On the first floor, there are three wooden casements, with infilled mullioned lights to the right. The ground floor features three tripartite wooden casements, along with a small light to the left of the doorway and opened panels in the centre. To the left, there is a plank and stud door topped with a 19th-century flat hood on brackets. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot. The front elevation displays three insurance plaques. Notably, the farmhouse was the site of a skirmish between Bow Street runners and the infamous smuggling Ransley gang.
