Description
Park Place is a mansion that now serves as a Pastoral Centre. It was built in the mid-18th century, with early and mid-19th century wings and additional extensions from the late 20th century. The main block features walls made of brickwork in blue headers with red quoins and rubbed flat arches, which have been colourwashed. It has a stone moulded plinth, cills, plain bands on the first and second floors, and a cornice with a parapet coping. The rear displays some Flemish bond brickwork with blue headers and red rubbed flat arches. The south wing is constructed of red brick, while the north wing is stuccoed. The main block and north wing have hipped tile roofs, while the south wing has a hipped slate roof.
The symmetrical southeast front elevation consists of a three-storey center flanked by two-storey wings that project slightly, featuring a window arrangement of 3:5:3. The windows are sashes set in reveals, with two splayed ground-floor bays of stucco (three windows each) on the wings. A wooden porch with two pilasters and two columns supports a detailed Doric entablature, complete with dentils, triglyphs, and mutules, and an open pediment with a panelled soffit. The porch features an arched opening with a key and a Gothic fanlight, leading to a six-panelled door on three stone steps, which includes the bases of the columns and pilasters.
At the rear, there is a semi-circular bay with two storeys and three windows on the south side of the main block, along with a central Venetian staircase window at first-floor level and several minor extensions. The north wing has a rear extension topped with a clock tower, which features separate corner columns, a cornice, and a leaded roof in an ogee form. Inside, one room contains pinewood doors and cases with fully-carved mouldings, and there are original fireplaces throughout the building.
