Appraisal
Park Cottage is an attractive, modest-scale house of the early twentieth century, built on a symmetrical plan and which retains much of its original character. The house is picturesquely set in its own grounds and retains early fenestration and a timber panelled door to the original portion. The addition to rear does not detract from the character of the original house. The house is located adjacent to the gateway into Moone Mills and it is possible that the building was originally associated with that industrial complex.
