Park Gate

Park Gate is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with restoration and additions made around 1920. It features a timber frame with painted brick infilling and a plain tile roof. The structure consists of three timber-framed bays and a narrow stack bay, standing two storeys high on a rendered plinth. There is a continuous jetty supported by moulded brackets between the central and left end bays, flanking a door. To the left end, there is a two-storey painted brick pier. The roof is hipped to the left and gabled to the right, with a multiple brick ridge stack located to the right of the centre.

The building has irregular fenestration, including four leaded casements: one three-light casement in each principal bay and one single-light casement under the stack. On the ground floor, there is a three-light casement in each outer bay and a canted bay window on a painted brick base in the central bay, featuring two-light ovolo-moulded mullion frieze windows. The entrance consists of panelled double doors under the stack. To the left end, there is a painted brick lean-to with applied studding, while the right side has a two-storey painted brick addition with two parallel ranges, a gabled plain tile roof, a right gable-end stack, a central three-light casement with a segmental head on the first floor, and a rectangular bay window on the ground floor. The rear includes a pebbledashed two-storey addition that stops short of the left end, as well as a rear lean-to.

Inside, the house features exposed framing, with chamfered axial beams and joists in each room on both floors. There are shaped brackets under the tie-beam ends in the left end room on both floors, and a bracket without a beam on the rear wall of the central room. The partitions include central tension-braced studs, and there are brick fireplaces with chamfered bressumers.
