Elm Park, Including Garden Boundary Walls And Bee Boles To East And North East

Elm Park is an early 19th century house, likely with origins in the 17th century, built by Thomas Tozer, brother of the Lord of the Manor. The house is constructed of rubble walls, with slate hanging on one side, and has a hipped slate roof with brick gable end stacks. It follows a double depth plan with a central stair hall and rooms of equal size at the front, a kitchen behind the right-hand front room, and two further small rooms behind the four main rooms.

The symmetrical three-window front features a probable 20th century porch in front of the central door. A ground floor window on the right is likely a 20th century French window. The left-hand window is a large 20-pane sash, possibly original, and the first floor left and right-hand windows are tripartite 16-pane sashes, all probably original; the central lights of these windows have 12 panes each. Small projecting wooden hoods extend part way down the sides above each window. A large rubble porch or summer room, with a hipped slate roof, is attached to the front and contains an original six-panel door, the top four panels now glazed. A bracketed cornice runs under the eaves at the front of the house. A later 19th century conservatory is attached to the left end of the house.

The interior remains largely unaltered and retains much original joinery and plasterwork. The principal ground floor rooms have panelled shutters. The right-hand room features a decorative cornice and a ceiling band of alternating flowers and wheat sheaves. The entrance hall is panelled to chair rail level, and the left-hand room contains an early to mid-19th century fireplace with reeded columns and roundels in the top corners. The kitchen has what appear to be original glazed front cupboards built into one wall. A late 17th century fireplace with a cambered chamfered wooden lintel is found in one of the small rear rooms. The original staircase has column newels, column-on-vase balusters, and a curtail step. First floor bedrooms have simple moulded cornices, with the right-hand bedroom featuring a marble chimneypiece and an original ornate cast iron grate. The landing has similar panelling to the entrance hall.

Attached to the house are tall rubble garden boundary walls to the east and north-east; the north-easterly wall adjoins the lane. The eastern wall incorporates a row of nine bee-boles, plastered internally with curved tops, each covered by a shallow slate pentice roof.
