Description
Elm Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, topped with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends. It has a stone rubble stack at the right gable end and a brick stack that heats the left room of a rear outshot.
The layout consists of two rooms and a cross passage, likely with a larger kitchen on the right and a smaller room on the left, both heated by gable end stacks. A late 18th-century outshot has been added across the rear, probably containing a kitchen on the left, heated by an end stack, and a dairy on the right.
The house is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front featuring two windows. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century four-pane sash window on the left, a partly glazed 20th-century door to the left of centre, and a wide 19th-century two-light horizontal sliding sash window with eight panes on the right. The first floor has two 19th-century four-pane sash windows.
Inside, there is an 18th-century two-panel door in the left room, which also has a 20th-century grate. The interior was not accessible at the time of inspection.
