Description
The Elms is a cottage dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of wattle and cob, with colourwashing over a rubble stone plinth. The building has four bays, with a rear wing extending to the southwest. It is a one-and-a-half-story building. The east-facing front has a left bay which is a modern addition. The original part of the house consists of three bays. There are two doorways: one in the right-hand bay, flanked by casement windows, and another in its original location in front of a stack situated between the centre bays. Two-light casement windows are present in the bays on either side of the entrance, with a three-light window to the left bay. There are three dormers with three lights in the eaves. A stack made of old, thin bricks sits between the centre bays, indicating a lobby-entry plan type. Further stacks are located between the left bays and at the right street gable. The stack to the street gable is constructed of stone with a brick flue, dating from the early 18th century. Timber-framed half-gables are visible.
