Elms Farmhouse

Elms Farmhouse is a small 17th-century farmhouse constructed from rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. The base of the central stack is rendered, featuring an oversailing course at the cap and a recessed 20th-century brick flue. The north front is one-and-a-half storeys and has an irregular layout. On the ground floor, there is an oak four-light ovolo mullion window with a timber lintel and a shallow stone sill on the right, a small two-light ovolo window in the center, and a stone outshut with a slate roof on the left. The west gable has 20th-century windows in the original window openings on both the ground and first floors. To the right, there is a gabled back extension and a single-storey dairy on the far right. The extension is rendered and features 20th-century windows on both floors, along with a small 20th-century glazed entrance porch. The dairy, which was formerly a cider house, is made of painted stone and includes a 20th-century window on the left and a six-panel door with a cambered brick arch.

The farmhouse has a two-unit plan with a central chimney that separates a small hall and a parlour. The ground floor rooms are adorned with a 17th-century double-ovolo moulded ceiling beam that has flat-and-scroll stops, and chamfered joists with scroll stops. The hall fireplace lintel features a single ovolo moulding with flat-and-scroll stops, and there is a bread oven with a cast-iron door in the angle of the hearth recess. To the left of the fireplace, there is a 20th-century boarded door leading to the fireplace stair. An oak winding stair from the 17th century is present, and the attic storey has a collar truss roof with two tiers of trenched purlins.
