Elm Cottage

Elm Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage located on The Green in Biddestone. The cottage is constructed of rubble stone, with a thatched roof and a rebuilt stack on the east end. It is a single-storey building with an attic, originally containing a single room. There are two-light windows with ovolo-moulded mullions and hood moulds on the ground floor, and a dormer gable above. Modern stone piers support the thatch over a 20th-century door on the right side of the building. A single two-light ovolo-mullion window with a hood is visible on the west end of the first floor, alongside a 20th-century lower window. A 20th-century stone eyebrow dormer is located at the rear, and there is a thatched single-storey extension to the southwest. The front dormer gable was formerly an eyebrow dormer. This property has group value as an early vernacular building.
