Description
The Llanerch, also known as Park House, is a house built in the simplified Tudor Gothic style, likely dating to the 19th century. It has an irregular plan and roof lines, with a service wing extending to the southeast.
The house is constructed of random rubble stone with furrowed quoins and stone surrounds. The windows are consistently 2- or 3-light casements. The roof is tiled, with bracketed eaves. There are four tall brick stacks with corbelled caps over the main house.
The north-facing front has an advanced bay to the right, with an upper-storey window beneath a hood mould. A gabled porch is centrally positioned with diagonal buttresses and a segmental pointed doorway with a hood mould, reached by three stone steps. The front door is a six-panel design. Behind the porch is an advanced bay housing the staircase, with a single window and a pyramidal roof. To the left of the stack, there is a single fixed light in the upper storey and a lancet window below. The west-facing garden front features 3-light windows under hood moulds. A gable on the right includes a bay window belonging to the drawing room, with a parapet featuring a moulded cornice and coping. To the left are two half dormers with a continuous hood mould and continuous raised verge. There are two windows on the lower storey, beneath which are cellar windows with segmental heads.
The south side is less ornate, with two half raking dormers flanking a smaller window in the centre. On the lower storey is a single window to the right, and a three-light door with an overlight, leading to the drawing room on the left. This door is reached by four stone steps. The east side of the house features a double gable. The gable on the right has a window in the lower storey under a hood mould, and a doorway to the left under a pointed arch, with a fixed light above. The gable to the left adjoins a walled yard, where the service wing is located.
The service wing has a lean-to on its east side and a gabled projection at its southeast angle. A centrally placed, square brick stack features panelling and a corbelled cap. On the west side, a single raking half dormer is present; the lower storey has no windows, thus screening the service wing from the garden. On the south side, there is a three-light window in the upper storey and a doorway with flanking fixed lights under a common lintel in the lower storey. On the east side is another raking half dormer, and a doorway with an overlight and casement to the right, both beneath a common lintel. There is a gabled projection with a 20th-century brick stack.
Inside, the open-well stair has ornate pierced balusters. The drawing room has a fireplace with a timber eared surround, and the windows have boarded reveals. In the servants' wing, there is a straight stair with a handrail at the top, alongside a winder stair, both constructed of timber.
