Parklands

Parklands is a mid-19th century rectory, later converted to sheltered housing and possibly designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It is constructed of squared limestone rubble with a freestone plinth, rusticated quoins, copings, and moulded kneelers. The roof is slated, with an ashlar stack to the left gable. The building is in a Gothic Revival style and has an L-shaped plan. The main front has five windows, with rubblestone relieving arches over flush freestone, rusticated window surrounds; shouldered arches appear over each light of most windows, along with plate-glass sashes. A gabled right rear wing features a single-light attic window, a 2-light window to the first floor, and a 2-light transomed window to the ground floor. The main block has half dormers with 2-light windows at eaves level, and small flat-arched sash windows to the right of each. A single-storey lean-to has a small, shouldered-arched window. Single-light mullioned windows are present on the ground floor of the main block, and a pointed-arched entrance leads to a large gabled porch with moulded kneelers. 20th century extensions have been added to the rear and right side. The interior has been altered and was not inspected during the listing process.
