The Elms And Little Elms

The Elms and Little Elms are a pair of houses, originally one, located at the end of a row in Market Place. They date from the 18th century and feature a facade made of ham stone ashlar, with lias stone coursed rubble on the sides and rear. The houses have a Welsh slate roof that sits between coped gables and behind a front parapet, with brick chimney stacks at each end.

The buildings are two storeys high and consist of five bays. They have a plinth, plain end pilasters, a small cornice, and a plain parapet with simple coping. The windows are 12-pane sash types set in plain openings with head moulds above. In the lower bay 3, there is a six-panel door with glazed toplights in a recess, flanked by attached Tuscan columns on a plinth, topped with an entablature that includes guttae and metopes, and an open pediment. In the lower bay 5, the window is slightly misaligned to the left, and to the right is a similar door in a recess, featuring an architrave and a simpler open pediment hood supported by console brackets. The interiors have not been seen.
