Description

Park House is a detached house dating from the mid to late 18th century. It features brick walls in Flemish bond set on a rubblestone base, with a rendered parapet and flat coping stones. The steeply pitched slate roof has parallel ridges and rendered stacks at the gable ends. The house is 2½ storeys tall and has four 19th-century sash windows with stone cills and 18th-century gauged and rubbed brick arches. There are two attic windows, which are two-light casements with glazing bars, slated cheeks, and segmental heads. The front door, located to the right of centre, is mid-19th century with four fielded and ribbed panels and two top lights. It is topped by a semi-circular fanlight with glazing bars and is sheltered by a 19th-century iron trelliswork porch with a flared metal canopy. The east gable wall is fully sashed. At the rear, there is a 19th-century range built of rubblestone and rendered brickwork, also with a slate roof, which is two storeys high and has two windows—casements on the ground floor and sashes above, along with a plank door. The interior has been significantly altered and converted in the 20th century. The rear wing features an altered open fireplace with a brick bread oven in the right jamb, and a straight chamfered wood lintel from the 17th century that has been reset.
