Description

Roffey Park is a country house dating from around 1870. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with ashlar detailing, featuring a timber frame with painted white infill panels. The roof is covered in stone tile and plain tile, with decorative ridge tiles, while some walls and gables are tile-hung. Tall brick stacks have moulded shafts and cornices, and decorative timber bargeboards adorn the gables and dormers.

The house is large and imposing, with stone on the ground floor and timber framing on the first floor and attic of the main block. Dormers are present on all sides, and decorative braces are visible in many of the timber frame panels. Larger gables are jettied on brackets, and bay windows project from the garden and west fronts. The ground floor windows are stone-framed, with 3, 4, or 5 lights, mullions, and upper transoms. First-floor timber-framed windows have casements.

The central entrance doorway is within a moulded stone arch, leading to a single-storey entrance corridor along the main (north) front, which provides lateral access and has stone mullioned windows on either side. The double-panelled doors are fitted with a glazed fanlight of square panes above a slightly arched transom. A gabled service wing, with a tile-hung first floor, is located to the left of the main block. To the right, the entrance corridor connects to a single-storey stone block with a hipped roof and a large, mullioned and transomed 5-light bay window on its south side.

Internally, principal rooms feature linenfold panelling and ornate plaster and wood ceilings.
