The Elms Brough
ABOUT THE ELMS BROUGH
The Elms is an imposing three storey, 19th century building situated on station road in Brough’s historic Victorian Conservation Area.
The Elms was originally a merchant’s residence, built in the middle of the Nineteenth Century.
In the Twentieth Century, The Elms was converted into five apartments- but the property retains its generous proportions and elegant period features.
The Elms, Brough offers modern living in a heritage building just minutes from Brough Station.
History of the elms
The Elms is in Brough’s Victorian Conservation Area.
The Council’s Conservation Statement describes the heritage and architecture of the historic area around Station Road:
‘The overall impression of the Conservation Area is of a tight- knit, small-scale Victorian settlement, although there are examples of some much grander buildings. These have to be seen in the context of similar grand properties on Cave Road, to which prestigious group they obviously once belonged.’
The grander houses within the Conservation Area include The Elms and Waltham House, which are believed to have been built for successful merchants taking advantage of the new station and improved access to Hull. The statement adds:
‘The 19th century, in general, saw a period of growth in the village, both commercially and residentially, doubtless much assisted by the arrival of the railway in 1840. The new direct (railway) access to Hull led to the development of large houses for Hull’s more affluent merchants. So, by 1892, Bulmer’s History of East Yorkshire could report on “a pleasantly situated and thriving village containing many handsome villa residences occupied by Hull merchants.....”
ELMS COTTAGE
Elms Cottage was built as the original Victorian coach house to The Elms, Brough. It has been converted into a stylish and spacious three-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home that is perfect for families, downsizers and professional couples.
