Description
Parkfield House is a former church school established in 1834. The building features painted roughcast with ashlar dressings and imitation slates on its hipped roofs. The taller rear schoolroom is accompanied by a low single-storey domestic range that runs parallel across the front, topped with a hipped lean-to roof against the side wall of the schoolroom. The front range consists of five bays, showcasing ashlar quoins and chamfered surrounds to large casement-pair windows. At the center, there is an ashlar porch designed in Tudor style, featuring a shouldered coped parapet with a shallow gable above a shield displaying a stag-head crest. The entrance includes a four-centred pointed arched doorway with sunk spandrel panels and double panelled doors. The schoolroom has two large yellow brick eaves stacks above the front range roof and is said to have pointed windows at the rear, along with a central gabled porch. The interior has not been inspected.
