Description
Elm House is an 18th-century house, with records tracing back to 1779, possibly built on the site of a 16th-century building. It was refronted in the 19th century, with a rear range added by 1864, and underwent Arts and Crafts style internal alterations around 1905-1910. The exterior is rendered with part tile-hanging on the gable, and it features a plain-tiled roof with end brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with two windows and a central blocked window on the front. There are two early 20th-century flat-roofed dormers. The first floor has a central blank space and two 12-pane sash windows with louvered shutters. The ground floor includes a 12-pane cambered sash window on the left and a three-light canted bay window on the right. The central entrance features a pedimented doorcase with thin columns, replacing the original flat hood, and an early 20th-century six-panelled door with stained glass in the fanlight. A plinth runs along the base of the house. The rear elevation has 19th-century tripartite windows and a brick and glazed conservatory.
Inside, particularly on the ground floor, the interior was refurbished in the Arts and Crafts style around 1905-1910. The entrance hall features a chamfered beam, a brick fireplace from around 1905 with a corner cupboard adorned with a leaf design, and a dogleg staircase with turned balusters and square piers. The study includes a 1905 iron fire grate and a cupboard. The dining room has a tiled fireplace from around 1905 and reused ecclesiastical stained glass panels, likely depicting King David with his harp. The first floor contains an early 19th-century fire grate and Thomas Crapper basins. The attic has a staggered purlin roof and the outline of a queen post roof from the adjoining property. The cellar features a massive oak beam and stone lintel from a 16th-century fireplace, which is not in its original position. During the Second World War, eight Canadian sergeants were billeted in the attic.
