9/63 Park House
GV II
House. Probably C15, extended possibly in the C17, further extended and remodelled in the mid-C19; an C18 agricultural building was incorporated into the house in the mid-C20. Timber framed, much rebuilt in red brick; plain tile roof; brick ridge stack, lateral external stack and external gable end stack. Originally a T-shaped open hall and crosswing plan, the cross-wing of 2 bays, aligned east-west and the hall range probably a single bay aligned north-south facing west, the hall range was probably extended to the south in the C17 by a single bay and in the C19 by a further bay, an C18 former agricultural building immediately to the east of the crosswing and on the same alignment is now linked to the house. West elevation: 2 storeys with dentilled eaves, crosswing to the left with hipped roof, hall range to the right; 1:3 bays, 24-pane and 16-pane glazing bar sashes with horns and segmental heads; door to left hand of hall range. Straight joint in brickwork to right of centre. North elevation: crosswing to the right, former agricultural building to the left, C20 glazing bar casements and a large lateral chimney stack to the right. Left hand gable of crosswing has timber framing, collar and tie beam roof truss with one pair of purlins and ridge piece and closely spaced studs throughout. Exposed queen strut roof truss to left hand gable of former agricultural building. Interior: a large amount of exposed timber framing, closely spaced studs and square panels with straight braces and curved wind braces. The north bay of the hall range is contemporary with the crosswing, the surviving framing in each is similar in character, the present timber framed ceiling of the north bay shows signs of being a later insertion of circa 1700, and is probably contemporary with the large open brick fireplace against the south wall; the 2 roof trusses over the north bay have queen struts, that to the south of the central bay has 3 vertical struts between tie beam and collar and V-struts above the collar, it is probably later than the other two, the central truss of the crosswing has raking queen struts.
