Description
Lumley Park House is a house dated 1721, with a refronting from the early 19th century. It features an ashlar front, rubble returns, and a rear made of rubble, topped with Welsh slate roofs and rebuilt brick chimney stacks.
The house is two stories high and has a five-bay main block that includes a plinth and a first-floor band. The central entrance has a partly-glazed door set within a re-used pedimented architrave. The windows are 12-pane sashes with square-cut reveals and projecting sills. The roof has coped gables with broken shaped kneelers and end stacks. There are flanking single-storey wings that are set back, both featuring identical windows and hipped roofs over their returns. To the left at the rear, there is a long single-storey service wing.
Inside, the house has an open-well, cut-string staircase with three flights plus a landing rail, which is adorned with stick balusters and a ramped handrail. The interior also includes several six-panel doors in architraves and three imported fireplaces from around 1700.
