Description
Park House is a house dated 1854, built for the Hurrell family. It is constructed of gault brick with stone dressings and a plain tile roof with ornamental ridge tiles and side stacks. The house is in the Tudor style, characterised by stone-framed mullion and transom windows with hood moulds featuring finely carved foliage stops. The plan is irregular, with numerous gables. The house is two storeys high with an attic.
The front elevation features four gables. The gable to the left has a projecting bay with a three-light window above and a narrow slit window in the attic. The next gable has a doorway with a plank door, set within a moulded arch, and a recessed ogee-headed window above. The following gable has two-light windows on both floors, with another two-light window in the attic. The gable to the right has two two-light windows on the ground floor, a square bay oriel above supported on a decorated bracket, and a narrow slit window in the attic. A single-light window is found in a single-storey section to the right, and a service entrance is located within an open verandah at the right end. The left end of the house has a large side stack with a carved stone panel dated 1854, incorporating the initials of the Hurrell family. A gable facing to the left has a square, battlemented bay with a three-light window above, and a small trefoil in the attic. The rear elevation features a canted bay with a pentice roof and a large, small-paned staircase window, as well as various other windows and two attic gables.
The interior remains largely unaltered, with moulded cornices and skirtings, four-panel doors, and moulded stone fireplaces with cast-iron grates. The entrance hall has a patterned tile floor and an open-well staircase with a panelled balustrade featuring pierced decorative panels. The drawing room has a fireplace with foliage carving, a pierced cornice, and a ceiling rose. Another reception room contains a fireplace beneath a window. The service area includes a staircase with stick balustrade, rooms with fitted cupboards and shelving, and a complete set of service bells.
Park House forms a group of buildings with the coach house and stable block to the north.
