Description

Park Hall is a classical laird's house built around 1900, featuring two storeys and three bays, constructed from poured concrete. The building has a rectangular plan and includes a single-storey, three-bay wing to the east. Architectural details include a base course, a band course at the first floor, a cornice, and a balustrade with quatrefoil piercings at the eaves of both the front and side elevations. The windows have projecting cills.

On the south (principal) elevation, there is a symmetrical three-bay arrangement, with the entrance door located in the centre bay, featuring a two-pane fanlight above. The flanking bays have three-light canted bay windows at ground level, while the first floor has regular fenestration. A shallow pediment crowns the centre bay, flanked by parapets. To the right, there is a near-symmetrical three-bay wing, which has a door with a two-pane fanlight at the centre, with windows in the flanking bays and parapet sections at the corners, topped with a gablet above the door.

The west elevation features windows only on the outer left at both ground and first floors. The north (rear) elevation has a tall round-arched stair window at the centre, with a blank section to the right, a single window at the first floor adjacent to the left, and a door to the outer left at ground level. The east elevation shows two windows to the right in the service wing at ground level, with additional windows at the first floor in the principal elevation behind.

The house has four-pane timber sash and case windows. A square four-flue chimney stack rises at the centre of the principal block, corniced and fitted with a variety of cans. There is also a two-flue wallhead stack with octagonal cans at the northwest corner, and another two-flue stack at the centre of the service wing.

The gates and gatepiers are symmetrically arranged, with drives curving away to the east and west from the house, terminating to the south at the road. The gates are made of cement-rendered concrete, featuring stop-chamfered shafts with bases and caps topped with ball finials, and there are remains of a wrought-iron gate to the west.
