History
YearText Photos 
It has a brick front, with a string-course between the floors, and a modillion eaves cornice. A dated brick against the top left window, is inscribed "T.C.1812" after Thomas Cooper, named in the deeds, who built the front part of the house. The four windows on the front are original, as is the fine front door, with its lat hood, and surround of rubbed and moulded brick. The rear part of the house is much older than the front: it has a lower part of ancient stonework of unknown date, and the first floor is of the 17th century, having a Palladian window in one room, and red facing brickwork with blue headers. Inside, there is a curious window between the north bedroom and an internal passage, with the window opening on the passage side. The kitchen at the rear has an old brick floor, typical of the 17th century, and the remains of an old bread oven. To the right of the house are still the old coach house and stables, also an old earth closet, which was still in use until recent years. Elham a Village Study.1968
