Description
Park House is a former rectory with a core dating back to the 17th century, which was significantly extended in the early 19th century. The building has two storeys and features a main range that is timber-framed and plastered, oriented north-south, topped with a hipped pantiled roof. On the east side, there is a wide early 19th-century extension that is rendered and has a shallow-pitched slate roof, along with small-paned sash windows. Additional 19th-century extensions can be found at the side and rear of the building.
