Park House

Station Road

"Built in 1645 for the Gleed family and partially rebuilt in 1707, Park House is named as one of the most historic country residences in the area. Although little is known about its history, it is understood that it was originally much larger than the house that stands today. It still retains its Colonial-style front elevation and many of its original internal features, including sash windows, a sweeping staircase with mahogany handrail, flagstone flooring, Egg and Dart cornicing in the hallway and six-panel doors and reveals."
