Description
Elm Tree House is a late 19th-century dwelling that may incorporate elements of an earlier building. It has an L-shaped plan and is situated on a corner site. The exterior is rendered to resemble ashlar, with slate roofs and a brick stack on the left gable end, while the right gable end is roughcast. The outer bays feature full-height canted bays with sash windows that have one vertical glazing bar. Above a flat-roofed, enclosed porch, there is a similar sash window with one vertical glazing bar. The porch has a moulded cornice, narrow sidelights, and a panelled door, with an inner door that includes leaded glass. The left return facing the street has a two-bay wing with an oriel window supported by a moulded corbel. The sashes on this wing do not have glazing bars, and the ground floor features a semicircular-headed window on the left with early 20th-century leaded glass, alongside a small sash window on the right. Elm Tree House occupies a prominent position in the center of town.
