Description

Parchfield House is a house built around the mid-19th century, likely in two phases. It features red brickwork in a mix of garden bond and Flemish bond, topped with a plain tile roof that has deep eaves and verges adorned with ornate wavy bargeboards and valances. The gables are finished with finials and pendants, and there are dormers with similar bargeboards. The brick axial stacks have multiple integral shafts and yellow clay pots.

The house has a double-depth asymmetrical plan and is designed in a picturesque Gothic style. It stands two storeys tall with an attic, displaying asymmetrical elevations. The south front has three bays, with the right-hand bay being advanced and gabled. It features one and three-light cast-iron casements with lozenge-shaped panes and hood moulds, along with a central doorway that has a plank door and a canopy with pendants. The other elevations have similar windows. The west side includes two gables, the left being larger, and two two-storey canted bay windows. The north elevation showcases a French casement with margin glazing bars and a wooden lattice-work porch. On the east side, the windows have flat brick arches instead of hood moulds, and there is a small single-storey one-bay wing to the right.

Inside, the interior remains largely unaltered, with most of the joinery intact. It retains original panelled doors, window shutters and reveals, some vertically-sliding shutters, chimney pieces, and moulded plaster cornices. The drawing room features a cornice enriched with egg-and-dart detailing and a frieze of fleurons in the ceiling border. The staircase has an open-string design with stick balusters.
