Residential Parlour Block and Extension, Old Place

The residential parlour block and extension at Old Place is part of a three-storey Elizabethan E-plan house, featuring a courtyard and a walled forecourt enclosure on the southeast front. The main structure includes an east-west range with projecting end wings. While much of the building is in ruins, lacking roofs, floors, windows, or doors, the eastern parlour block has been restored with a new roof, flooring, and windows. This section is constructed from coursed white limestone with neatly squared corners and Forest of Dean stone dressings for the reinstated three-light mullion windows in the parlour wing. It has a slate roof.

The parlour has been reinstated to the first floor, where remnants of a window embrasure and gable line are visible, and a roof has been inserted. The internal returns of the kitchen and parlour wings consist of two bays, with walls above the first floor not surviving. The north elevation is windowless, featuring a large lateral chimney and two corbelled chimneys, one at the first floor and another at the second floor. The first floor is interrupted by a stairwell extension. A doorway on the east connects the parlour with the service wing. The north elevation of the stairwell has four staggered windows aligned with the stair. The west side has a large window at the first floor above a door. The east elevation of the parlour wing and hall wing is a single bay, gabled to the right with windows on both the first and second floors, and features a flat four-centred door and a small side window, both of which are 21st-century reconstructions. A large projecting stack on the left rises over a parapet with a mono-pitch roof behind it.

Internally, the parlour wing opens into the roofless hall, which has two bays, with windows to the left and doorways to the right, as well as a two-light attic window. The building is divided into three floors, with access provided via the east and west elevations of the original parlour block. There is internal access to the later parlour extension on both the ground and first floors, featuring timber floor and roof structures, and a stair leading to the first floor. A spiral metal stair provides access to the second floor, and there are reinstated Forest of Dean fireplaces throughout.
