Description

Parr Fold is a group of three houses built in 1715, although they underwent significant rebuilding in the mid-19th century. The structure is made of English garden wall bond brick and features a graduated stone slate roof. It has a T-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall, with stone quoins at both the front and rear.

The first bay originally had a timber-framed gable with a stone plinth and a jettied first floor added in the 19th century. This bay includes a seven-light ovolo-moulded timber mullion and transom window on the ground floor, along with a five-light window in the gable. The second and third bays each have rustic porches on either side, with four-light brick-mullioned windows on the ground floor and three-light windows on the first floor, all featuring brick hoodmoulds and stone sills. The first-floor windows are set within gables that have ornate finials, with the left gable displaying the datestone.

The building has three ridge chimney stacks that showcase decorative brickwork and diagonally set clustered shafts. The right side of the house features a lozenge brick pattern in relief. At the rear, there are two, three, and four-light casement windows, as well as two dormer windows and a half-hipped roof on the rear of the crosswing.
