Description
Park House is a farmhouse dating to the 17th century, with additions from the early 19th century. The older part is built of plum-coloured brick in a random bond pattern, while the 19th-century addition is of orange-red brick in a Flemish bond and has ashlar dressings. It has a plain tile roof.
The front of the house, as it appears today, largely dates to the 19th century and is arranged symmetrically over three bays. A slightly projecting ashlar plinth runs along the base, with an ashlar band between the ground and first floors and an ashlar cornice at the top of the wall. A flat-roofed Tuscan porch with columns and responds shelters the centrally positioned front door, which has two lower flush panels and two upper raised and fielded panels, along with a four-light overlight. Sash windows with four panes per sash are located to either side of the porch on the ground floor, with flat arches and ashlar sills. Three similar windows are on the first floor. The cornice and surround to the pediment above the porch have a cyma outline. Chimney stacks are positioned on either side of the front elevation. The right-hand side has ashlar coping and a kneeler to the 19th-century gable end. The older gable end on the right, slightly recessed, features a three-light sash window on the ground floor and a 19th-century canted bay window to the right, with a cambered relieving arch and a lead roof. The first floor has two two-light casement windows, the one on the right with a cambered head. A single-light window and a two-light window, also with a cambered head, are found on the second floor. A recessed brick addition was built in the 1940s to the right. The left-hand side is similar, although the ground floor of the 17th-century portion has been replaced by an outshut of the 1940s.
Inside the 17th-century section, the ceilings have chamfered beams on both floors, with run-out stops. The 19th-century section has raised and fielded panelling to the front rooms on the ground floor and a staircase with three flights, square panelled newel posts, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail.
