Description

1 Park Street is a Grade II* listed house that stands one and a half storeys tall, reflecting its early vernacular origins with a length that accommodates a two-window range. The exterior features roughcast render with smooth-rendered dressings and a slate roof topped with an axial stack, indicating a plan-form that likely includes an internal cross-passage behind the stack. The doorway is offset to the left of the elevation, featuring a plank door set in a moulded architrave with brackets supporting an entablature hood. To the left of the entrance is a 12-pane sash window, while the wide right-hand window serves as a reminder of the building's former use as a public house. The upper windows are round-arched 16-pane sashes located in gabled half-dormers.

Inside, the house is accessed via a cross-passage located behind the main stack, with post and panel partitions that exhibit a sub-medieval character on either side. There is a small unheated lower room and a main room that includes a straight bressumer over the fireplace. Both rooms feature stop-chamfered longitudinal beams, and the joists show slight chamfering. A staircase against the rear wall of the main room has turned balusters along with a heavily moulded string and rail. The fireplace in the principal first-floor room also has a chamfered bressumer. The exposed roof construction consists of three unequal bays defined by trusses of varying detail and two purlins. The upper truss against the gable wall is of the collar and tie-beam type with queen struts, while the second truss, partly concealed by the stack, has a truncated tie-beam but remains open. The third truss, located behind the stack, forms a partition between the upper rooms and also features a truncated tie-beam with a single raking strut above the collar. The fourth truss, also of the collar and tie-beam type, stands forward of the lower gable end wall and includes lower king and queen struts with additional struts above the collar.
