Description
Park Villa is a house dating from 1842, marked by the initials M.A. It is constructed from stuccoed and rendered stone rubble, featuring granite quoins and window cills. The roof is slate with hipped ends and deep overhanging eaves, complemented by a brick axial chimney stack on the garden front to the right and a brick lateral stack on the left. The building has a double depth plan, with a central stair hall, drawing and dining rooms located on the garden front to the right (southeast), and service rooms on the left.
The house is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. The ground floor features a large central porch supported by heavy unmoulded square piers, a plain entablature with a moulded cornice, a 16-pane window at the front, and a 19th-century four-panel door on the right side of the porch. The datestone M.A. 1842 has been relocated from the rear elevation. There are two 16-pane hornless sash windows on the ground floor and three similar sashes on the first floor. The garden front has a regular two-window layout with bay windows added around the 1880s on the ground floor.
Inside, the property retains much of its original character, including original doors and doorcases. The 19th-century open well staircase features an open string, ramped rail, scroll brackets, and an original plaster ceiling above with a moulded cornice and decorative rose. The room on the south side has a 19th-century marble chimney-piece, while the room on the east side showcases decorative plaster cornices with acanthus leaves and intertwined roses, which continue around the bay window projection.
To the northeast of the house is a 19th-century coach house and stable block, connected by a mid to late 19th-century slate-hung extension that serves as a covered way and porte-cochere. There are also additional projecting outbuildings and a 20th-century extension.
