Description
Park Cottage and Park House are a house and attached cottage built in the early 18th century, with later alterations around 1875 by George Devey. They are constructed of red brick featuring burnt brick headers and blue brick diaper work, with a timber frame and plain tile roofs. The buildings have three brick gable stacks and three lateral stacks, one of which has three diamond plan shafts. The gables are stone-coped with moulded kneelers on Park House.
The structure is two storeys high, with a brick band on the first floor of the 18th-century section. The north elevation has four bays, arranged as two plus two. Park Cottage, located to the right, features a central doorway with a panelled door, flanked by two 2-light casement windows with leaded lights beneath flat arches. Above, there are two similar 2-light windows. To the left, Park House is taller, with a doorway to the right that has a segmental head and a panelled door. There is a three-light casement window to the left under a segmental head, and a canted bay window further left with a 1-3-1 light arrangement. Above, there are two 2-light windows under segmental heads and two roof dormers with hipped roofs.
George Devey made additions to the south and east of Park House. Each elevation features a gabled two-storey timber-framed porch with an open balustrade on the ground floor and a coved upper floor with a 4-light window. The south elevation has a projecting gabled bay to the right with diaper work and a 4-light casement window on each floor; the lower window has a segmental relieving arch, while the upper window has a wedge brick lintel. There is a blind circular window in the gable, with timber framing continuing to the left on the upper floor. There is also a lower projecting gabled bay to the left. Park Cottage bears the inscription "T Coxon 1878," indicating that T. Coxon was the estate manager or Clerk of Works for the Sudbury estate at that time. Original drawings are held in the Vernon Estate Office.
