26, Park Hill Road

No. 26 Park Hill Road is a house dating from the 1860s, currently used as meeting rooms for a society. The building is plastered with a slate roof and features stacks with stuccoed shafts, sunk panels, moulded cornices, and some old pots. It is situated on a corner site with a wedge-shaped plan and a rounded end, featuring a central doorway on the Park Hill Road side.

The exterior has three storeys and a basement on the Park Hill Road side, and three storeys facing Meadfoot Lane. The Park Hill Road elevation has three bays, deep boxed eaves, a moulded eaves band, rusticated quoins, and a first-floor platband. The original segmental-headed doorway has a moulded, eared, shouldered architrave, with a recessed original six-panel door that has round-headed upper panels and Greek key moulding below the fanlight. The left and right ground-floor windows are segmental-headed, featuring moulded eaved shouldered architraves and high-transomed timber casements.

On the first floor, there are tall high-transomed French windows leading to 20th-century balconies, and the first-floor windows are casements with glazing bars and segmental-headed moulded architraves. The platband and eaves band extend around the other elevations. A rounded corner bay is located to the right, with ground and first-floor windows having plain embrasures, and a second-floor window with a moulded architrave. The Meadfoot Lane elevation has two bays, with a shallow projecting stack to the left and a shaft projecting through the roof. There is a recessed four-panel door to the left and a basement window to the right, along with two first-floor windows with moulded architraves, glazed with timber casements, and two second-floor segmental-headed windows that match those on the other elevations.

The interior has not been inspected but may retain interesting features. The building is included for its group value.
