Description
Colin Park is a house and garden walls dating from around the late 18th or early 19th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from stone rubble with granite quoins and dressings, and has an asbestos slate roof with hipped ends. Rendered brick shafts serve as end and axial stacks.
The original plan was likely a double-depth design with a central entrance, with principal rooms facing the front and smaller service rooms at the rear. In the mid-19th century, the house was extended with a single-room plan addition to the right, and a small room was added to the rear of that extension. Around the late 19th century, an outshut was constructed at the right-hand end of the house.
The two-storey, 3:1 window front is symmetrical on the left-hand side. A central 19th-century six-panel door has a fanlight and is set within an open porch supported by two Tuscan columns and a flat canopy with an entablature. Flanking the door are a 19th-century window to the left and a 16-pane sash window to the right. The openings have granite lintels, which are incised to resemble granite voussoirs, and are connected by a continuous granite string band. There are three 16-pane sash windows on the first floor, each with dressed stone arches. The extension to the right has a 20th-century window and a horned 12-pane sash on the ground floor, with lintels that mirror the string band of the main range. A horned 12-pane sash is located on the first floor. A stone rubble garden wall with quartz coping runs along the front, and square, ashlar stone gate piers with pyramid caps mark the entrance. The interior has not been inspected.
