Park Villa

Park Villa is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating from circa 1600, with alterations and partial rebuilding in the 19th century. The house is timber-framed and plastered, with a steeply pitched plain tiled roof. Originally built with a three-cell cross passage plan, it features two storeys. On the ground floor, the entrance is recessed on the left side, with a six-panelled door and hood mould, alongside three-light transomed casement windows with hoodboards. The first floor has two and three-light leaded casements with hoodmoulds. An axial ridge stack, with a rebuilt capping, is located to the right of the centre of the house, between the hall and parlour. A break in the plinth marks the rebuilt parlour. A service wing added to the left has an external stack with offsets, exposed plates, and a slightly jettied gable. The right end features exposed 19th-century plates and purlins. Internally, close studding is visible, along with stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams, stop-chamfered storey posts in the hall with roll moulds below jowls, a butt purlin roof with reverse cranked windbraces, and cambered collars. A 20th-century link connects the house to a 19th-century outbuilding with a hipped pantiled roof on the rear right.
