The Elms And Attached Walls, Piers, Railings And Gates

This is an early 18th-century house, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed from smooth squared and coursed limestone, with a Ham Hill stone cornice, parapet, rusticated quoins, moulded architraves with keystones, a doorcase, and a plinth. The roof is slate, with brick stacks to the gable ends. The house follows a 2-unit through-passage plan.

The exterior presents a symmetrical 3-window facade over two storeys. All windows are early 19th-century 8/8 sash windows, except for those in the basement, which are 3-light stone mullioned windows. Curved railings and steps lead up to a 6-panel door, set within a Tuscan-style doorcase with a pediment.

Inside, the central stairhall has large stone slabs spanning its width. To the rear right is an oak, open-well, open-string staircase with a turned newel, swept rail, and coved plaster back to each tread. The architraves date to the early 18th century, and some original 6-panel doors remain. A fireplace on the first-floor right features an early 18th-century wooden architrave with a richly moulded cornice. The landing has wide oak floorboards, but the remainder of the interior is of early 19th-century character, with enriched reeded cornices, elliptical arches to the hall and right-hand rooms, and reeded moulding on the panels of most doors.

The roof structure indicates that the roof has been raised and the outer walls rebuilt. It comprises 7 bays, with the outer bays trenched and wedged, and the common rafters jointed over the purlins.

The attached walls, piers, railings, and gates consist of piers with moulded cornices and pyramidal caps, flanking a coursed limestone rubble wall. This supports pointed railings with a double gate at the centre and a single one to the right, featuring long and short railings. Approximately 40 metres of high rubblestone wall to the left encloses the garden.
