Description

Elmtree Cottage and attached outbuilding is likely an early 17th-century cottage, with minor later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone and marlstone rubble, with a straw thatch roof. The building originally comprised three units, probably formerly divided, and now has one storey and an attic.

The front has three 19th-century casement windows with wood lintels on the ground floor: one to the left of a boarded front door situated to the left of centre, and one to either side of another boarded door to the right of centre. There are also three raking dormers with 19th-century casements. The windows are a mixture of leaded, cast-iron, and plain wood casements. Integral end stacks, the left one built of ashlar, and a ridge stack to the left of centre are topped with moulded capping.

A low gabled outbuilding with a red pantile roof is attached to the right gable end, and the roof pitch of a former outbuilding is visible to the left gable end. The rear elevation features three 19th-century casements and eyebrow eaves dormers.

The interior, partially inspected in August 1987, features chamfered cross beams to the ground floor rooms and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
