Description
Park House is a house dating from the 18th century, with alterations and extensions in the early 20th century. It's constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The house follows a double-pile plan, originally facing east, with two internal stacks arranged symmetrically. A large, early 20th-century extension in a Georgian style was added to the rear, along with a smaller, 20th-century single-storey extension to the right of the front range.
The east front was originally symmetrical; a square, single-storey bay now projects forward to the left of the central door, covered by a moulded flat canopy supported on a single square pier. The ground floor has two tripartite sashes of 2+3, 6+9, and 2+3 lights, with Gothic tracery in the upper lights made of pine. The window to the right of the door has a segmental-flat arch of gauged brick, narrower than the window aperture. The first floor features three sashes of 8+8 lights in a late Georgian style with segmental-flat arches of gauged brick. Dormers have casements. A simple cornice and parapet run along both side elevations, and a hipped roof is present.
The right-hand elevation features one original blank recess and one similar sash, both with segmental brick arches, on the first floor. The left (garden) elevation has an early 20th-century splayed bay with French windows and an overlight with Gothic tracery. It also has two sashes of 8+8 lights in a late Georgian style with segmental brick arches.
Inside, there's a 20th-century staircase, and a large aperture from the entrance hall into the right-front room, which has a moulded egg-and-dart plaster ceiling cornice and an early 20th-century stone fireplace. The left-front room has a 6-panel moulded door and an 18th-century wooden fireplace with husk, faces, and egg-and-dart mouldings, including a cast-iron ducknest grate dating from around 1800, considered a fine example of its period. Other internal doors are 6-panel. All first-floor hearths have been blocked.
