Description
Elm Cottage is a cottage that dates from the 18th century or earlier, with a 19th-century facade. It is timber framed and covered with fishscale tiles, featuring a plain tile roof. The building is single storey with an attic, set on a stone plinth. The right end bay projects slightly, and the roof is half-hipped to the right. There is a corbelled brick stack towards the left end, and a gabled dormer is present. The windows are arranged irregularly and consist of three leaded casements: one three-light and one two-light flanking the door, with an additional two-light window on the right end bay. A boarded door is located beneath the stack. To the left, there is a 19th-century brick lean-to. Inside, the clasped purlin roof with diminishing principal rafters is visible in the left gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
