The Elms

The Elms is a stone-built house, now rendered and painted, with natural slate roofs, dating to an unknown period. The main block is a rectangular two-storey structure, with a two-storey double-depth addition to the right and a single-storey wing projecting to the front. A stair wing is located at the rear.

The front elevation is arranged in five bays. The first bay is covered by the single-storey projecting wing, which features a part-glazed door on the ground floor and a non-domestic shed with corrugated sheet roofing above. Bay 2 has a three-light casement window on both floors. Bay 3 features a door with a solid-sided open porch and a window above. Bay 4 has windows on each floor, and Bay 5 is a later addition, also with windows on each floor. All windows are modern replacements in timber, with three lights. The main block has a steeply pitched roof with two rebuilt red brick stacks; one is positioned in the cross-passage to the right of the entrance, and the other is on the right gable. The wings have a lower pitched roof, with a stack to the right gable of Bay 5. The right return gable is blind.

The rear elevation is in six bays. Bay 1, at the rear of the wing, has a cat-slide roof and contains a three-light and a two-light window. This bay is a three-storey gabled stair-tower with original window openings to each floor, retaining a diamond mullion on the first floor. The gable is lower than the main ridge. Bay 3 has a modern two-light window on the ground floor and a 17th-century four-light window with timber mullions above. Bay 4 has a lean-to WC built outside the rear door of the cross-passage, which is blind above and a modern three-light window above. Bay 5 has a window or door obscured by foliage and is blind above. The return gable has a window on each floor, including one in the garret.

The interior layout appears to be of a cross-passage plan. A previous list description (from 1956) mentioned Tudor doorheads and a stud and panel partition, which have since been removed. A projecting staircase wing contains winding oak stairs. Whether other details, previously documented by Fox and Raglan, remain is currently unknown.
