Description
Elm Park, located at 6, 8, and 10 Viewfield Lane in Selkirk, is an earlier 19th-century house that has undergone later alterations and additions, and was subdivided in the mid-20th century. The building is two stories high with a basement and features five bays. The southeast elevation is line-rendered with droved ashlar dressings, while the northwest elevation showcases droved ashlar with polished ashlar dressings, and the basement is line-rendered. There is a base course on the southeast side, along with band courses between the basement and ground floor, as well as between the ground and first floor, topped with a cornice and blocking course.
On the southeast elevation, there is a deep-set panelled door in the center, topped with a multi-paned rectangular fanlight, all set within a broad pilastered and corniced doorpiece. Above this door is a window at the first floor. Each flanking bay on both floors has a window, except for the outer left bay, which has a modern door at ground level with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above. Quoin strips are present, along with tablets at the center and outer extremes of the elevation above the eaves.
The northwest elevation is also five bays wide, with three central bays that are closely grouped and slightly advanced. A moulded string course runs between the ground and first floors. Each of the central three bays has a window on each floor, with panelled aprons beneath the ground floor windows. The outer bays of this group have a window at the basement. Each outer bay has a window on every storey, and clasping buttresses with tablets are located above the eaves.
The northeast elevation is two bays wide, featuring a window at the first floor of the left bay and a modern door at the basement, flanked immediately to the right by a window. The right bay has a window at ground level, with a late corbelled and advanced oriel window above at the first floor, which is adorned with a cornice and blocking course.
The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows throughout, except for the modern glazing at the basement. The roof is slate, with a platform and piended design, and line-rendered coped stacks on the platform.
Inside, the principal room on the first floor features plasterwork and a ceiling rose. The ground floor was not seen in 1995, but it is noted that there was papier-mâché work in the principal room on the ground floor at that time, and shutters were in place.
