Thought to date from the 19th century, Elm Farm Cottage has been subsequently extended most recently in 2000 and has been further updated in 2016. The house is surprisingly large and has been designed to divide in two if required, with a self-contained ground-floor annexe with a wet room and its own entrance.

Currently the property has four reception rooms, a recently re-fitted kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The house has a good-sized and private garden, with a parking area adjacent to it together with a further parking area and single garage. Beyond the garden are two paddocks, one containing two outbuildings and a pond. In all about 2 acres (0.81 hectare).
