Description

Park Cottage is a house dated 1719, built of Flemish bond red brick with a clay plain tile roof featuring gabled ends and brick integral gable-end stacks. The building has a double-depth plan, with two main rooms at the front and service rooms in an integral outshut at the back. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a symmetrical three-bay south front. The exterior features cambered brick window arches, with the center being blind, and three-light casements, all but one of which are missing. The central doorway has a cambered brick arch, an arris-moulded door frame, and a plank door. Above the door is a small stone tablet that is raised and fielded, inscribed with 'GB 1719'. The roof at the rear slopes down to lower eaves of the outshut, which includes two-light casements, a plank door, and a stack over the west side wall.

Inside, the left room contains a chamfered cross-beam with straight-cut stops, a simple wooden chimneypiece with a cambered arch, and two shelves on brackets. There are winder stairs beside the stack, with plank doors featuring wrought-iron strap hinges. On the first floor, there is a re-used 17th-century deeply chamfered cross-beam with ornate carved stops.
