Description
Elm Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has rendered rubble walls and a hipped thatch roof, along with two brick stacks: one axial and another at the right-hand end of the original house. The original layout consisted of a two-room plan with an axial stack between the two rooms and an additional fireplace at the right-hand end. The original entry position is unclear. The exterior features two storeys and an asymmetrical front with four windows, which are 20th-century two-light casements. There is a 20th-century thatched porch to the right of the center, complete with glazed doors, and a lower 19th-century addition at the right-hand end. The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but it may include original fireplaces and ceiling beams.
