Description
Park End and the attached cottage and outhouses are a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. The original structure dates back to the early 17th century, with extensions added in the early 18th century. It was refronted in the early 19th century and further extended to the rear around 1850. The building features a render over a timber frame, with the right bay constructed from colourwashed limestone rubble. It has a hipped old tile roof, with brick ridges and stacks at the right end.
The layout consists of a two-unit lobby-entry plan that was expanded to three units in the early 18th century. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window range. There is a 20th-century door leading to the lobby, and an early 20th-century half-glazed door to the right, which is topped with console-brackets supporting an early 19th-century flat hood. The windows are early 19th-century ten-pane sashes, and the eaves are deep. There are three hipped roof dormers with 19th-century casements.
At the rear, there is a mid-19th-century block made of colourwashed brick, featuring a gabled old tile roof and brick stacks. This block is two storeys high with a four-window range and 8-pane sashes. Inside, the room to the right has a stone flag floor and winder stairs next to a blocked fireplace that includes a spice cupboard. The early 17th-century section of the house has stop-chamfered beams and exposed timber framing.
Additionally, there are subsidiary features including stables, which are now a cottage and outhouse, attached to the right side of the main building. These structures are made of uncoursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, topped with a gabled old tile roof. They are one storey and loft high, comprising a six-bay range. The outhouse has a rendered flat arch over a 20th-century casement and a timber lintel over a 18th-century plank door to the left. There are also timber and concrete lintels over other 20th-century doors and windows, a gabled loft door in the centre, and a two-light gabled dormer to the left.
