Description

The Park House is a garden building, believed to be a deer-keeper's house dating from 1623. It is thematically related to the building work of Sir Hamon Le Strange, 3rd Baronet, and may have been constructed by William Edge or his family, who were stonemasons. The structure is partly made of rubble and partly of squared and coursed carstone with galleting, featuring stone and stuccoed brick dressings. The building is currently roofless and consists of two storeys with attics, showcasing a vernacular style with some classical references.

On the ground floor, there are two stone and stuccoed brick ventilation openings with classically inspired tracery, each containing four roundels enclosing quatrefoils. The first floor has two large rectangular windows, one of which is blocked and the other is open but lacks tracery, both framed by rusticated stuccoed brick surrounds. The central doorcase is adorned with a moulded architrave surround, complete with imposts and a keystone. The building features a stone plinth, stone quoins at the base, stuccoed brick above, a stone string course, and a stone-coped battlemented parapet. The returns have a single ground floor window and two first floor windows, with the central parapet battlements heightened to resemble stacks. The interior was previously arranged over two floors.
