Description

Park House and the gatepiers attached to its west end were formerly the stables of the Great House, also known as Great House Yard. The building likely dates from the late 17th century but was probably converted in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed and dressed rubble with a Cotswold stone roof featuring coped gables and ashlar end chimneys.

The building has a symmetrical elevation of two storeys and an attic, comprising five bays along with one-bay flanking wings that have been altered. There is a continuous plat-band across the front. The roof features three hipped dormers, with the right-hand one being a large half-dormer. On the ground floor, there is one window to the right and four small rectangular windows to the left. The right-hand wing also has a hipped dormer. The gable end to the west includes a bullseye window that is modeled after the Great House adjacent to it.

At the rear, there are three hipped dormers, a balustraded bay to the right, and two arched entries that are roughly central. The gatepiers, made of rubble, are connected by a short linking wall and feature a cornice with engaged ball-finials and baluster-top hinge pilasters. The building is included for its group value. It is shown on the Ordnance Survey map as the Great House Yard.
