Description
Stansty Park, with its attached garden gateway, is a building that may have originally been designed in an H-plan, although one wing was rebuilt or encased around 1800. The structure is primarily constructed of well-coursed and squared rubble, particularly around the porch, which may have been added later. The building features a slate roof, with an axial stack at the rear of the main range and a side wall stack on the cross wing, both topped with massive ribbed brick shafts. There is also an axial stack on the later wing, which was raised in height during the late 19th century.
The entrance front faces south and consists of the main range with a high cross wing to the left and a lower later range to the right. The main range includes a storeyed porch on its right side, featuring a roll moulded lintel over the doorway with a moulded architrave, and a 4-pane window in a moulded stone architrave above it. The windows in the main range are large insertions with wood mullioned and transomed lights, complemented by concrete rendered quoins. The gabled cross wing to the left has similar windows, although it does not project forward.
The lower west wing is designed as a symmetrical pavilion facing east, featuring an advanced pedimented central block with flanking bays. It has a hipped roof, with blind windows on the east elevation and inserted windows elsewhere, which utilize earlier openings with flat-arched brick heads. The rear elevation has later extensions that obscure parts of the main range and cross wing, with the earliest possibly dating to the early 19th century. In the angle with the later east wing, aligned with the storeyed porch to the south, is a hollow chamfered segmentally arched doorway. Additionally, there is a 2-light ovolo moulded mullioned window at the rear of the cross wing that is likely re-cut or re-sited.
Adjoining the house to the southwest is the garden gateway, which may have previously been associated with the early 19th-century house of Stansty Park. This gateway features fluted Doric piers with bases and enriched capitals that support a heavy entablature.
