Description
Park Cottages is a pair of estate cottages built for Bisbrooke Hall, dated 1868 on a plaque. The cottages are constructed from coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, dressed in a rustic manner, and feature Collyweston slate roofs. They have decorative cusped wooden bargeboards with pendants and stone chimneys with pairs of chamfered shafts. The buildings are approximately L-shaped and designed in a rustic vernacular style, standing at one and a half storeys high.
The south front has three bays, with the right bay being gabled and projecting. There are small offset buttresses, and the windows are wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars and Tudor hoodmoulds. The left bay features a two-light window on the ground floor and a canted bay window at the gable end. The central bay also has two-light windows, with the upper window located in a gabled semi-dormer and supported by stone corbels at the sill. The gabled right bay includes a canted bay window with a hipped roof and a two-light casement above. A blind bay is set back to the right, with a lean-to porch in the front angle, and there is another porch in the angle at the rear of the left bay.
