Description
Coles Park is a house likely dating from the 18th century, with an addition from the 19th century. The walls are plastered rubble with cob tops, visible on the north-west side. The stacks are of rubble topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and the roof is thatched. The original part of the house consists of three rooms set back from the road, facing north-east. It has an axial stack to the right of the central room and a rear corner stack serving the room at the right end. A single-storey, single-room extension projects forward at a right angle from the north-west end.
The main range is two storeys high. The front has an irregular two-window arrangement. A 19th-century two-light casement window is on the ground floor to the right, with narrow glazing bars. A 20th-century casement without glazing bars is to the left. The two first-floor windows are probably late 18th or early 19th century and are three-light casements. The central casement has glazing bars, with fixed pane lights on either side containing small rectangular panes of leaded glass. A 20th-century plank door with a flat hood is at the left end. The extension has 20th-century windows with glazing bars. The roof is gable-ended on the left (adjoining a neighbouring cottage) and half-hipped to the right, with a gable-ended roof to the extension.
The interior has plain carpentry details. The roof was not inspected.
