Description
Park Cottages is a pair of estate cottages built around 1868 for Bisbrooke Hall. They are constructed from coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, giving them a rustic appearance, and are topped with Collyweston slate roofs. The decorative features include cusped bargeboards with pendants and stone chimneys with pairs of chamfered shafts. The cottages are designed in an L-shape and consist of one and a half storeys.
The south elevation has three bays, with the right bay being gabled and projecting. There are small off-set buttresses, and the windows are wooden casements featuring single horizontal glazing bars and Tudor hoodmoulds. The left bay has a single casement on the ground floor and a projecting lateral stack. The second bay contains two-light casements, with the upper window set in a gabled semi-dormer and supported by stone corbels at the sill. The right bay features a canted bay window with a hipped roof and a two-light casement above it. Additionally, there is a blind bay set back on the right side, which has a lean-to porch at the front angle, and another entry in the porch leads to the rear.
