Park House

Park House is a house built around 1760 to 1770 and restored around 1984. It is constructed of narrow gault brick in English bond, with red brick quoins and flat window arches. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, featuring tumbled gable end parapets, repaired coping, and symmetrical end stacks. The house has an L-plan layout and is two storeys high. The front elevation is symmetrical, with three hung sashes in their original openings on the first floor, and two tripartite hung sashes from around 1984 in enlarged openings. The red brick arches at both the ground and first floors have been rendered. There are three steps leading up to the central doorway, which features a late 18th-century doorcase with panelled reveals and a cornice on enriched console brackets. The door itself is raised and fielded panelled. The rear range is made of similar brick, except where it has been restored and renovated, with the roof raised. Inside, there is an open string staircase from around 1770, consisting of two flights and a landing, with a moulded rail, curtail, enriched scroll tread ends, and two balusters for each tread. Each baluster is made up of a vase and a Doric column, with larger Doric columns at the newels. The house has opposing front and rear doorways, and two internal doorways feature segmental arches leading to half-glazed doors, with the lower halves having raised and fielded panels. The two ground floor rooms at the front each have an original fireplace surround with fluted pilasters, enriched capitals, and a frieze of original applied plaster figures representing Spring and Autumn.
