Parkside House And Parklands

Parkside House and Parklands is a large house, now subdivided, built in 1865 by J. Crowther. The structure features snecked slate blocks with dressed stone quoins, a plinth, strings, and detailing. It has steeply-pitched graduated slate roofs with stone copings and stone chimneys at the mid and ends. Designed in the Gothic style, it consists of two storeys, with attics in Parkside House.

Parkside House, which originally served as the servants' quarters, has two bays. It includes a single-light window on each floor of the left bay and a multi-light window with shouldered inner heads on the ground and first floors of the right bay, topped by a pointed 2-light window.

Adjoining to the east is Parklands, which has four bays. The porch features an initialled shield (J.A. & R.R.) with a motto in the gable. It has a pointed outer door with ornamental ironwork and a glazed inner door with Gothic tracery. To the right are two pointed 2-light windows, while the left has a multi-light ground floor window with a pointed 2-light window above. The east return showcases a single-storey canted bay window, with a multi-light window on the left and a pointed 2-light window above. At the rear, there is an oriel window and a full-height canted bay, both topped with conical roofs. Some multi-light windows feature inner trefoil heads, and all windows are stone-mullioned.

Inside Parklands, there is a fireplace with a joggled lintel in the hall, and a dog-leg staircase supported on brackets with solid balustrades pierced with quatrefoils. The interior also includes panelled doors with embattled lintels, panelled window reveals, and decorative Gothic cornices.
