36, 36A AND 36B, NEW PARK STREET

The building at 36, 36A and 36B New Park Street, located on a corner site with Couch Lane, dates to the mid-18th century. It is a two-storey building with an attic. The front is constructed of red brick on a painted stone plinth, with a moulded stone cornice and a brick parapet topped with stone coping. The roof is half-hipped, covered with slate at the front, stone tiles on the Couch Lane elevation, and slate at the rear. There are two dormers. The front has five windows to the first floor, featuring tall recessed sash windows with intact glazing bars, flat brick arches with stone keyblocks, and block sills. The ground floor has two similar windows to the left. The main entrance is a six-panel door within a stone architrave, topped with a flat moulded stone hood on cut brackets. An early 19th-century shop front is located on the right side, with a half-glazed door and window of eight large panes, framed by pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. An east-facing garden front features a two-storey brick bay with a four-pane sash window to the first floor and a two-light casement window to the ground floor.

The interior includes an original staircase with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. A swagged plaster frieze is present in the front ground floor room, and there are ornate brackets to a depressed archway near the stairs.

Nos 36A and 36B are located in the former service and stable wing along Couch Lane, behind the main building. They are two-storey red brick structures; No 36A incorporates some grey brick headers. No 36A has a gabled slate roof, with a small two-light casement window and a four-pane sash window on the first floor. The ground floor has a partly glazed door with two flush panels and a small window. No 36B, originally part of the stables (with the eastern end now demolished), has five windows and a hatch to the first floor. Two are small casements, while the others are recessed sashes with four panes. The ground floor’s arrangement from left to right includes a modern recessed door with a semi-circular fanlight, a rubbed brick arch, a wide stone impost, a stone band carried across the recess, a plank door with a wood lintel, and large double carriage doors, with the stone band continued on the side.

The building's interior features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.

Nos 32 to 37 New Park Street are grouped together.
