Three Elms

Three Elms is a house built in 1923 by architects Baillie Scott and Beresford for D L Wallis, who may be related to the builder that married Baillie Scott's daughter. The building is L-shaped and constructed of painted brick, topped with a renewed hipped tiled roof featuring two brick chimneystacks. It has two storeys and five windows, with casements that include leaded lights. The left side has a half hipped roof, and there is a hipped porch. The right side is partially tile hung. The rear elevation resembles a refaced Wealden house, showcasing a projecting tile hung wing and a recessed centre that includes a bracket and a two-storey canted bay. Inside, the entrance hall features a balustered staircase with finials. The living room boasts a large fireplace adorned with Delft tiles and a built-in cupboard, along with a spine beam that has a run-out stop. The parlour includes a Neo-Georgian style fire surround and panelling. An illustrated article about the house can be found in Homes and Gardens from September 1924.
