Description
Park Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with cladding from the 18th century, and has been extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame covered with painted brick and tile hanging. The building has a plain tiled roof and stands two stories high on a raised plinth, with tile hanging on the first floor and a hipped roof that has a stack at the rear left. There are wooden casement windows on each floor. To the right, there is a long tile-hung extension with five wooden casements on the first floor, a blocked doorway with a flat hood to the left, and a pentice to the right. The main entrance is through a half-glazed door located in a weather-boarded, hipped, single-storey wing at the rear. The cottage is included for its group value.
