8/9 Park House
7.2.52
II*
House, on the site of the Keeper's house, of the medieval park, later a farm-
house. C16 timber frame, C17 cross-wing, early C18 cladding, with minor C19 and
C20 changes. Front wall (C18) of brickwork in Flemish bond with blue headers,
plinth, first floor band, rubbed flat arches, and altered features: the cross-
wing has walls of flint with brick dressings, plinth, quoins, hoodmoulds,
modillion brick cornice at the foot of the front gable, some altered features:
other walls of brickwork in English Garden Wall and Flemish bonds with some
cambered openings: the rear gable of the cross-wing has exposed framing with
brick infill, and a small area of framing is exposed at rear. Tile roof with
plaster coved eaves, hipped above the porch, catslide at rear (with a high level
hipped dormer and a lower gabled dormer). Early timber-framed structures with
rear outshot, refronted in the early C18 (to a higher eaves level), with a
projecting full height porch, and a cross-wing; south front elevation of two
storeys and attic and three storeys and attic, 1.1.2.1 windows. Sashes in
exposed frames, triple to the ground floor on each side of the porch. C20
classical doorcase, above spreading steps. The east elevation (of the cross-
wing) shows as 3 storeys with 3 widely-spaced windows: sashes in exposed frames
and some C20 ground-floor casements. The rear elevation has a low 2 storeys,
irregular fenestration of casements, and a plain door, at the east side (below
the tall gable of the cross-wing) there is a projecting single storeyed double-
pile service wing. Interior: on first floor exposed timber framing in original
rear wall has large rectangular panels and a straight brace from midrail up to
wall-post; front wall reported also to be timber-framed; the first floor
left-hand room had a wood-mullioned window in rear wall (now covered over) and
there is evidence that the house has been extended a short way to the left, this
section now housing a brick fireplace, probably early C17, with
lambs-tongue-stopped chamfered jambs and chamfered shallow 4-centred-arched
timber lintel; wattle and daub partition between left-hand and central first
floor rooms. Staircases: main dog-leg stair is early C19 having columnar
newels, stick balusters and moulded tread soffits; in rear range a shallow
probably late Cl8 flight of steps with closed string and turned balusters and
newel; in cross-wing a late C17 dog-leg, closed-string, stair having square
newels with ogee finials and pendant finials and columnar balusters with moulded
bases and capitals; this stair rises to attic, where there is a section of
moulded splat balusters. Old board doors throughout.
