2. Originally called Bayley Park. This mansion was begun by James Plummer in 1677 and continued by Raymond Blackmore in the early C18. It was altered and enlarged in 1766 by Sir Robert Taylor for General George Augustus Elliott, who was created Lord Heathfield in 1787, and who owned the house until his death in 1790. It was renamed Heathfield Park after him by his successor Francis Newbury in 1791. In 1895 it was remodelled, brick facing being substituted for stucco, and the south-east wing being added, by Sir Reginald Blomfield for W C Alexander. Two storeys, attic and semi-basement. Two windows. Red brick with stone window dressings, stringcourse and panels below first floor window. Wooden modillion eaves cornice. Hipped tiled roof. Windows with keystones over and glazing bars intact, those in the basement being segmental-headed. The original portion of the house was probably the 6 window bays at the south-westernmost end of the entrance front. This was a recessed centre containing a Venetian window on the first floor and 2 slightly projecting wings with long and short quoins and hipped roofs. The left of these wings has 3 narrow windows, the right wing 2 wider ones which may have been substituted for the former in 1766, when the 5 window bays at the north-west end of the front were probably added. The latter portion is divided into 2 sections with quoins to each, the first of which projects beyond the remainder of the house. Below the Venetian window in the original portion of the house is a large projecting porch, with parapet over and a segmental-headed doorway approached by a flight of wide steps, which dates from 1895.
