Description
Park Gates is an estate cottage built around 1850, constructed from random kidney flint with white brick dressings. It is a single-storey building featuring 20th-century concrete plain tiles and fluted barge-boards on the gables. The cottage has an internal chimney stack with four round shafts made of moulded brick, each with different designs, set on a square white brick base that is decorated with panels of black knapped flint. The windows are plain three-light casements set in rectangular openings made of chamfered brick. There is a gabled porch adorned with fluted barge-boards and a large drop finial at the apex of the roof. The porch includes a doorway and a small single-light window on each side wall, all featuring pointed Gothic arches. Inside the porch, there is a plank door with ornate wrought iron hinges and applied pilaster strips. At the rear, there is a contemporary wing made from the same materials.
