Description
Park House is a park folly built in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from sandstone with smooth stone dressings. The building is square in shape and features four octagonal corner towers, all of which are embattled. It stands three storeys tall. The main block has a parapet that is pierced with cross slits and adorned with a Lombard frieze. The towers include glazed arrow slits, some of which are shaped like crosses.
On the ground floor, the east and west sides have a single paired arch with two trefoil lights. There is a 20th-century lean-to on the south side and a wooden porch on the north side, which has a dentil cornice and a studded door. The first floor features two trefoil lights on each side, set in deeply moulded stone mullion windows that have double square hood moulds for each light. The second floor has three trefoil lights arranged in a long pointed arch opening. All the windows are latticed.
