Description
Elm House is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century, with alterations and an extension added in the early 19th century. The front and left gable wall are made of roughly tooled sandstone, while the rear and right gable wall are constructed from squared sandstone. The roof is covered with pantiles.
The house is two stories high and features a three-window front, with a single-storey extension to the left. The extension has a board door and a 4-pane casement window to the left, both topped with heavy tooled lintels. The front windows consist of 2-light, 12-pane casements on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor. Although the window openings have been altered, they still show sections of original quoins and chamfered lintels decorated with bands of chevron tooling. The building has a stepped eaves course, coped gables, and shaped kneelers, along with end stacks.
On the left side of the house, there is a 4-pane fixed-light fire window set in a chevron-tooled quoined surround with a similar lintel. The rear features 2-light, 8-pane horizontal sliding sashes on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, the ground-floor room to the left retains a stone heck with a 19th-century range, while the room to the right contains a segment-arched fireplace made of chevron-tooled voussoirs. Additionally, there is a wall cupboard door on the right with one recessed panel and butterfly hinges.
