Elm Tree House

Elm Tree House is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with wooden lintels, and has roofs covered in Stonesfield slate. The house has two main sections – a taller, two-storey-plus-attic range, and a lower, one-storey-plus-attic service range. The front of the taller range has three windows, with a central doorway below a single-light window, and four-light casements in the outer bays. These casements largely have renewed lintels, and contain 20th-century glazing. The lower range, likely the earlier section, has been altered with the addition of large gabled dormers. A stack at the junction of the two ranges rises upwards and has two diagonal shafts, one with an ashlar base. The rear of the taller range features a rounded central stair projection with a large window containing old leaded glass. Internally, there are stop-chamfered beams and joists in both ranges. The taller section has beams spanning onto stop-chamfered lateral beams. A large open fireplace with a stop-chamfered cambered bressumer is also present.
