Description

The Elms is a manse with an early 19th century core that was significantly enlarged in the later 19th century. It is a two-storey building, harled with painted margins, a base course, and quoin strips, featuring stop-chamfered arrises.

On the southeast elevation, the house has a three-bay layout. The broad gable end of the original house is to the left, with windows positioned to the right of a broad gablehead stack. The centre features a slightly recessed, taller entrance bay with a cornice above a deep-set doorway, which includes a two-leaf panelled door and a small-pane fanlight, along with a window above. To the right, there is a gabled outer bay with bipartite windows on each floor.

The northeast elevation shows the broad gable of the original house to the right, with a glazed door and a first-floor window to the left of the broad gablehead stack. There is a tall stair window in a recessed bay at the centre, and a gabled bay to the left with two narrow windows widely spaced on each floor, along with a small gablehead stack.

On the east elevation, there is a three-bay advanced gable to the right featuring a tripartite window at the ground floor and a bipartite window at the first floor. The centre and left bays each have single windows on both floors.

The west elevation displays the rear of the original house, which includes a later piend-roofed single-storey service projection at the centre. There is a swept-roofed dormer flanked by gabled dormers.

The building has modern glazing, grey slate roofing, ashlar skews, harled stacks, and polygonal cans. The interior was not seen in 1994.
