Description

7 and 8 Park Place is a large Gothic semi-detached pair of houses that have been modernised for use as offices. The buildings rise three storeys and include a basement. They are constructed from snecked Pennant rubble with freestone dressings and weathered stringcourses. The roofs are hipped and covered with slate, featuring half hips above pointed tripartite windows in the central bays and gable heads to the outer bays. A solid eaves band runs across the top storey window heads, with oculi positioned above. There is a central chimney with polygonal stacks. The windows have sash glazing set in mullioned frames, with the façade being four windows wide and paired splayed bays in the centre that stop at the first floor. A broad band course separates the ground and first floors, where the ground floor features shouldered-arched windows. The outer ground floor bays have Gothic-arched entrances accessed via parapetted stairs, flanked by shafts with carved capitals. The end elevations include projecting cut down chimney stacks.
