Description
Park House is a mansion block built in 1904, featuring red brick and pink terracotta. The building has five storeys plus a roof storey and consists of ten bays. The outer bay on each side and the central pair are set beneath decorative open pediments that rise from the cornice above the fourth floor. Each bay has entrances with hoods that also feature scrolly open pediments, with the left-hand door displaying Art Nouveau details.
The ground floor has segmental-headed moulded windows with rusticated clustered piers positioned between timber mullions and transoms. Full-height canted bay windows are present in the third, fifth, sixth, and eighth bays, with inset terracotta arches above the second floor. The central pair of bays is connected at the third floor level by a tented canopy. Most windows are square-headed, featuring terracotta mullions and transoms, with some having leaded lights and others plate glass. The top floor windows alternate between arched and square-headed, with timber mullions and transoms. The building is adorned with an egg and dart cornice, a parapet, and square-headed dormers, along with cut brick and moulded terracotta decoration.
