Park House

Park House is a house with medieval origins, significantly altered in the 18th century and substantially remodelled in 1848/52 by Bryan Browning of Stamford for the Burghley House estate. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with a Collyweston roof. Originally likely a hall house, it now has an L-shaped plan, with a part single-storey and attic section and a part two-storey section.

The main front has three bays, with a cross-wing projecting to the right. The cross-wing dates to the 17th century and incorporates medieval fragments. It features a tripartite sash window with glazing bars to the gable end, set under a shallow stone arch, and 20th-century French doors to the ground floor. The return wall of the cross-wing has a two-window range of casements under wood lintels. The central and right bays were built in the mid-19th century, with differing eaves levels to the cross-wing. The central bay has a one-window range of tripartite sash windows with glazing bars under stone lintels; the first-floor window is positioned under a half-dormer with a hipped roof. The bay to the right breaks forward with a gable and has a tall, arch-head stair window. A lean-to porch, to the right of this bay, has an arch-head doorway and part-glazed door. Stone and ashlar stacks are located at the ends of the building.

The rear elevation, facing the garden, has a central canted bay window with sashes. Some sash windows have been restored and renewed in the 20th century. The interior retains some mid-19th century fittings, including a reset octagonal medieval post with a bracket in the kitchen.
