A farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, which underwent alterations in the 20th century. It was constructed of red brick and has a pantile roof with brick coped gables and gable stacks. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} The Elms Farmhouse forms part of the National Trust's Gunby Estate. The farmhouse was recorded as part of a programme of historic building recording in April 2016, prior to its refurbishment. The house dates to the late 18th century, but underwent at least 5 phases of alteration and extension in the 19th and 20th century. It was built in a 'T' shape, with an east-west range, and a north-south range extending off the northern elevation. The majority of the building was constructed using handmade, 18th century bricks laid in no discernible bond, with a shallow plinth running around the base of the house. The roof on both ranges is pitched, and covered with pantiles. The east-west range is 2 storeys tall. The southern elevation is the main façade, with a central, recessed 2 storey arch. The front door is located in the arch, together with a circular bulls-eye opening, which has been partially infilled with late 19th century brick and a small window. There are two windows on either side of the arch (1 to the ground floor, and 1 to the upper floor), and another small window, which is a later addition on the east side. The eastern elevation is plain, with two triangular sections of 'tumbled' bricks at the eaves. The northern elevation is partially blocked by the north-south range. On the east side of the range, the elevation is plain, but has iron fittings of unknown function built into the wall. On the west side, there is evidence of a doorway which was initially partially filled to fit a window. This infilling was later removed and the opening was completely filled with 19th century bricks. The western elevation has two windows, which are both later inserts, as they cut into the 'tumbled' bricks at the eaves. The north-south range was originally single storey, being constructed using the same handmade bricks as the east-west range. The height of the range was later increased to 2 storeys, with the new storey being built using late 19th century handmade bricks laid in English Garden Wall bond. The eastern elevation has 1 doorway and 2 windows. There is a single storey extension off of the northern elevation, which has 2 windows. It is built out of early 19th century bricks, and has a mono-pitched roof covered with pantiles. The western elevation has 4 windows, 3 of which are boarded up, and the remains of what appears to be a projecting oven. This was removed and infilled in the 19th century. The interior has 3 rooms on the ground floor, plus a pantry area, and the 1st floor has 5 large rooms. It also has two small rooms that were used as the toilet and shower room, which were created by partitioning the hall and one of the large rooms. {2}
