Description

Elm Park Lodge is a single-storey, seven-bay lodge, along with a coach and stable block and a courtyard to the southeast, dating from 1824. The building is constructed with pebbledash rendering, featuring droved red sandstone ashlar dressings and quoin strips.

The southwest elevation has a slightly advanced, pedimented bay at the centre (formerly a pend), breaking the eaves. A segmental-arched opening, now containing a window, fills the centre, with a string course marking the lintel height. The pediment displays an oval panel with a date stone, and at its apex is a die supporting an ornate, tall wrought- and cast-iron weathervane. There is a window in each bay to the right, with a later bipartite window (with stop-chamfered arrises) in the inner and outer bays to the left. A blank bay is centrally positioned within the three-bay group on the left.

The northeast elevation is four bays wide, also with stop-chamfered arrises. A boarded door, complete with a letterbox plate glass fanlight, is located in the bay to the inner left, with a window in each outer bay. A gabled blank bay to the inner right has an ashlar coped apex stack, and a rectangular plaque is positioned above eaves level. A single-storey addition is attached to the outer left, featuring a boarded door with a letterbox plate glass fanlight above in the bay to the right and a window in the bay of the northeast return.

The southeast elevation presents three bays, with a window centred and in the bay to the left. A boarded door is flanked to the right by a window and sits in the bay to the right, above which is a piended loft opening breaking the eaves. A single-storey, monopitch brick addition projects from the outer right.

A timber-framed brick projection is connected to the southwest elevation; it is five bays wide, grouped as 2-2-1. Each of the two-bay groups has a window flanked to the right by a boarded door. A single bay projecting later has a two-leaf boarded door.

The lodge features four-pane and plate glass timber sash and case windows. The roof is slate, with ashlar coped stacks and octagonal cans. The northeast elevation has a coped skew with skewputts. An ornate later wrought-iron lamp projects from the west corner.

The interior of the lodge was not inspected in 1995.

Later coped brick boundary walls enclose the courtyard to the southwest. Square-plan red sandstone ashlar half-gatepiers are located to the outer right of the southwest elevation, and to the southwest corner, both coped with ball finials and supporting a two-leaf boarded gate. Setts are laid out in the forecourt of the lodge from the centre towards the gatepiers, and arranged radially within the rectangular court to the southeast.
