Description
Elm Tree Cottage and Elm Tree House, along with their railings, are located in Carlton Town and date back to 1751, although they likely have earlier origins. The farmhouse features early 19th-century alterations, and the railings were added in the 19th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed rubble with stone slate roofs, and the railings are made of cast iron.
The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical facade with a configuration of two windows, one window, and one window on the first floor. It has quoins and consists of the first four bays. In the third bay, there is a two-storey gabled porch with quoins, which includes a part-glazed four-panel door set within an architrave. Above the door is a round-headed fielded panel that is wreathed and inscribed with "T G 1751." The first-floor features a two-pane window in a double-chamfered surround. The gable has shaped kneelers, ashlar coping, and an apex ball finial.
The first, second, and fourth bays have flat-faced mullion windows in ashlar architraves on the ground floor, and double-chamfered mullion windows on the first floor, with configurations of two, three, and three lights respectively. Between the fourth and fifth bays, there is a part-glazed door in an ashlar doorcase, with jambs designed as pilasters that have bases and Tuscan abaci as capitals, along with a lintel featuring rounded inner corners. The fifth bay contains 20th-century casement windows in flush ashlar surrounds. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with corniced stacks located at the ends and between the third and fourth, and fourth and fifth bays.
The railings extend at right angles from the porch to the front gate, featuring plain bars with decorative finials, supported on an ashlar base.
