Description
Park House is a large detached house dated 1888, likely built for the Foster family, possibly John Foster junior. The house is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a green slate roof, showcasing a vernacular revival style.
The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay facade that is asymmetrical yet ordered. The right bay protrudes slightly and includes a two-storey canted bay with a parapet and six-light mullioned and transomed windows. The left bay features a two-storey square bay with a shaped parapet and ten-light mullioned and transomed windows. Between these bays is a single-storey open porch with a wide round-arched opening and an arcaded balustrade above. The doorway has a moulded surround, a cambered head, and carved spandrels. A moulded band runs along the first floor, which has a central eight-light mullioned and transomed window, topped by a small wooden gabled dormer. The outer bays are gabled with copings and side parapets, each containing a three-light attic window. The left gable apex displays a sunflower motif, while the right features an ear of corn. The rear elevation includes a central twelve-light mullioned and transomed staircase window, with a two-storey wing on the left and a flat-roofed extension on the right, likely added later. The left and right elevations have mullioned windows with up to six lights, some of which are transomed. The sunflower and corn motifs are also found in the gable apexes. The house is topped with tall ashlar stacks that have moulded caps.
Inside, there is a large entrance hall with a dog-leg staircase at the rear, featuring a ramped, moulded handrail and turned balusters, along with six-panel doors throughout.
