Description
The Elms is a house dating from the 16th century, with a refacing from the early 19th century. It is timber framed and rendered, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building features a three-bay range with a projecting cross-wing. It has two storeys, with the main range having a slightly projecting window bay on the left and a modillion eaves cornice beneath the hipped roof. To the right, there is a projecting two-storey wing that is gabled and has a moulded eaves cornice. A stack is located at the centre left of the building. The windows are arranged irregularly and include all glazing bar sashes: on the first floor, there are two double sets and a single window, while the ground floor has three singles and two tripartite windows. The entrance is through a half-glazed door that has a flat hood supported by brackets, located on the right return. Inside, there is reported panelling and a carved overmantel.
Local climate
The Elms sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
