Description
The Park Keeper's House, also known as the Deer House, is a building dating from around 1750, likely designed by Thomas Wright of Durham. It features a rendered exterior and a thatched roof with Cotswold stone slates underneath. The gables have overhanging eaves and scalloped bargeboards, and there are ashlar stacks. This rustic cottage is a single storey with attics and consists of three bays. It has three- and two-light casement windows with diamond pattern glazing, with the central window being a 19th-century canted bay with one three-light and one-light window. On the north elevation, there is a projecting thatched pentice supported by tree trunks, which includes an inset seat under a thatched gable at the west end, also featuring a scalloped bargeboard. A plank door is located under the pentice. To the east, there is a single storey workshop wing.
