Couttie'S Wynde

Couttie's Wynde is a row of houses located on the east side of The Square in Elham. No. 1 was formerly known as The Crown public house. The facades of Nos. 1 and 2 date from the 18th century, while No. 3, which is to the left, likely dates from the mid-to-late 18th century. No. 3 is constructed of red and grey brick in a Flemish bond, while Nos. 1 and 2 are made of painted brick. The row features a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high. No. 3 has a rendered plinth and a slightly lower plat band. It also has boxed eaves and a small brick corbel at the right end of No. 1. The overall roof is gabled.

No. 3 has a central rear stack, while No. 2 has a rear gable-end stack to the left and a central multiple brick stack between Nos. 1 and 2. There is also a ridge stack at the right gable end. The windows are irregularly arranged, featuring five sashes in open boxes. No. 3 has one sixteen-pane sash with splayed painted voussoirs to the right of centre, two sixteen-pane sashes in No. 2, and two more closely spaced sashes in No. 1. The ground-floor sashes have segmental heads.

No. 3 has a boarded door in a lean-to brick porch with a plain tile roof at the left end, while No. 2 features a door with six flush panels, a plain rectangular fanlight, and a segmental head between two first-floor windows. No. 1 has a similar door located under the second first-floor window from the right. The rear of No. 3 includes a rendered two-storey wing with lower eaves and ridge, and a three-quarters hipped plain tile roof. No. 2 has a short two-storey brick rear wing with a hipped plain tile roof, and there is a rear lean-to as well. The interior has not been inspected.
