Creedy Park House, formal garden features, drying-lawn wall and game larder

Creedy Park House, built 1916–1921 by Walter Sarel, is now subdivided. The house is constructed of red sandstone with buff sandstone dressing, beneath slate roofs and brick chimneys. Windows are mostly metal-framed and leaded in various patterns. An attached wing to the west is of brick and stone construction, with partial roughcast render on the north elevation.

The house follows a loose H-plan, with a principal garden front facing south into Creedy Park and the main entrance on the rear (north) side. A western wing is stepped back from the main house, with a further section known as The Limes stepped back again.

The building is characterised by tall stone elevations with prominent gables, tall chimneys and dressed stone openings in a general Tudor style with elements of Arts & Crafts detailing. Windows throughout are generally mullioned and transomed of varying sizes, with continuous stringcourses at the first and second floors around parts of the house. Bay windows are surmounted by ornamental balustrades.

The south-facing garden front has projecting gables flanking a recessed central block, with large twelve-light windows to each gable and two full-height windows at the western end of the central block rising the full height of the building. A central door is set in an arched surround, above which are three uPVC dormer windows at attic level. The west elevation contains a two-storey canted bay and a square bay with a gable. The attached wing (Bell Tower and West End) has a steeply-sloping roof with dormer windows, a pavilion at the west end, and a bellcote. The Limes, stepped back at the west end of the range, is a two-storey building with half-dormers, south-facing gable and end stack. The east end has two projecting square bays with adjacent gables. The north side contains the original main entrance in a full-height projecting porch with moulded arched opening and carved panel above bearing the Ferguson Davie coat of arms. A full-height window adjacent indicates the principal stair within. A wide moulded-arch opening on the west side of the northern courtyard provides access to a service yard, above which is a carved panel inscribed WJ & PFD / 1921, commemorating William John Ferguson Davie and his wife Phinia (married 1891) and the house's completion date. The ground floor of the former service wing incorporates surviving fabric of the 19th-century house, apparent on the north elevation in exposed sandstone, though the far west section (The Limes) is roughcast rendered. Windows to the former service wing appear mostly to be late 20th-century replacements.

The interior retains many historic features including doors with moulded timber surrounds, plasterwork and fire surrounds. The entrance hall has dado panelling with carved detailing, moulded ceiling beams with wide stops and a plasterwork frieze. The great hall is a double-height room with large timber ceiling-beams supported on thick corbels and a large fireplace with stone bolection-moulded surround. A screen at one end has a minstrels' gallery above with carved balustrading and tall finials. Double-height windows contain heraldic stained glass in their central panels. The principal stair rises in a wide dog-leg with matching balustrade. Other rooms at ground and first floor retain much timberwork and plaster friezes in similar styles. The western end of the building retains a secondary stair in Arts & Crafts style.

Low stone garden walls with ball finials surround the house on its south, east and west sides. The formal gardens at the front, designed by WA Nesfield around 1850, are situated on a rectangular platform with curved corners on the south side, retained by a stone wall. A stone fountain (originally located in the west parterre) stands in the centre, with stone steps leading centrally up to the terrace in front of the house. Square stone gatepiers with ball finials supporting decorative iron gates flank the entrance forecourt on the east side, partially surrounded with balustrading. To the north-east of the house are two flights of stone steps with balustrading (partially missing) flanking a small water feature, providing access to the Rookery beyond. To the west the walls curve round to the area in front of the stables, interrupted centrally by a decorative wrought-iron pedestrian gate set in a segmental recess. The formal gardens include terracing, walls, balustrades, steps and water features.

To the rear of the house is what is assumed to be a drying lawn, bounded on the north side by a tall curving rubble sandstone and brick wall with terracotta copings. On the north-west interior side of this wall is a square game larder with brick base and timber louvered walls, a pyramidal slate roof and louvered timber cupola, retaining internal fittings including ceiling hooks. The game larder and drying-lawn wall probably date to the mid-19th century.
