Description
Park House is a stable block that has been converted into part house and part stables, dating from around 1840, possibly designed by Thomas Hopper, with later additions and alterations. The building features sandstone ashlar on the south and east sides, while the north and west sides are constructed of red brick, topped with low-pitched slate hipped roofs. It is square in plan, arranged around a central courtyard, and has two levels, with moulded eaves on the south and east and a dentilled eaves cornice on the north and west.
The south entrance front has five bays, with a central pedimented break in vermiculated stonework that includes a low elliptical stable arch and two flanking blind elliptical arches. A moulded impost band runs across the front. To the right (east), there is an impressive central pedimented portico supported by two pairs of Tuscan columns, with four mostly blind windows on either side. The two right-hand ground floor windows are four-paned sashes with horns and are set lower, with a first-floor cill band above. The roof features four ashlar ridge stacks with moulded capping, one to the left and two to the right of the central portico.
A late 19th-century brick domestic extension is set back to the right. Inside the courtyard, there are four elliptical arches on the east side that lead to 19th-century loose boxes. Additionally, there are blocks of moulded and dressed stone arranged in a rough circle near the north-east corner of the stable block, which likely come from the former Butterton Hall, built by Thomas Hopper for Sir William Pilkington in the Tudor Gothic style around 1840-1850 and demolished in 1921.
