Elm Tree House

Elm Tree House is a building dating from around 1700, which is an addition to an earlier house. It is constructed of rubble stone with dressed stone chamfered quoins and dressed stone openings, topped with a hipped stone tiled roof featuring lead ridges and two tall brick stacks. The house has an E-shaped plan with the staircase well located in the shorter middle arm. The south front is two storeys high with an attic and has a five-window range. It features two pedimented dormers with 8-pane casements in the roof, while the remaining windows are four-light wood mullioned and transomed, with the ground floor windows being slightly larger.

A wooden modillion cornice shelters the centrally placed six-panel door, which is flanked by two rectangular fanlights. This door is accessed via an open Tuscan Doric porch, dating from around 1780, which has an entablature, triglyph frieze, and modillion cornice. To the east, there is a one-storey wing set back, made of rubble stone with a gabled stone tiled roof and 20th-century casements and door. Another one-storey wing of brick projects to the east. The rear of the house is stuccoed and features additional wood mullioned and transomed windows, along with an oval light in the staircase well.

The west wall contains four blocked windows from the circa 1700 section and four casements in brick surrounds from the earlier section. Inside, the ground floor room on the southwest preserves a complete bolection moulded panelled scheme from around 1700, while the southeast room across the central passage has similar panelling to dado level along its north and west walls. Both doors to these rooms date from the same period. The cantilevered staircase is also from this time, featuring a moulded handrail, twisted balusters, and carved tread ends. In the front garden, there is an early 19th-century cast iron pump. A five-foot chequer brick wall on a stone base with a dressed stone coping runs along the south front, although part of it has been rebuilt to the east.
