Description
Park House is an early 17th-century house that has been altered and extended in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It includes the adjacent Black Bull Yard. The house is constructed of coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings, and has stone flag roofs with external stone and brick stacks. The front of the house is two storeys and four windows, with a quoined and projecting section on the left end, and a two-storey, three-window extension to the right. A pent porch with 20th-century double-glazed doors is positioned off-centre. To the right of the porch are two 12-pane sash windows with timber lintels, and to the left, a single 3 x 6-pane Yorkshire sash window similarly treated. Above are four similar Yorkshire sash windows, all with tooled lintels. The extension to the right features a blocked full-height elliptical coach-house arch with quoins, one dated 1819 and initialled IS; this now contains two tall 12-pane sashes and a 20th-century glazed door. The left return side has a large quoined external stack with weathering, partly cut away at the top to accommodate an inserted loft door. The rear of the house has an irregular pattern of mostly 20th-century windows, including a tall staircase window with an unequal 15-pane sash and a 16-pane sash to the right. A two-storey wing to the left has been remodelled in the late 20th century, featuring a rebuilt brick stack and an additional bay with a garage.
The interior retains chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and several 6-panel doors. The entrance hall has a vertical timber post embedded in the wall to the right of the door, and the remains of a blocked fireplace with a quoined jamb and the springing of an elliptical arch. This is flanked by later alcove cupboards. A rear left room has a plain stone fireplace. The room to the right of the hall features a fireplace with egg and dart mouldings, drops, medallions, masks, and a dentilated wooden cornice, along with panelled shutters. The right end room has a marble fireplace. The roof structure includes four principal rafter trusses, originally with collars, two purlins, chamfered and ogee stopped. A plank door with a wooden latch survives between the early and late attics.
