Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast render to walls.

Segmental-headed door opening with rendered surround to timber panelled door with stained glass fanlight and flanking sidelights, accessed by tooled limestone steps. Roughcast rendered outbuildings to rear with corrugated asbestos roofs. Modernised gable-fronted gate lodge to entrance. Cast-iron gates set to pebbledashed and rendered piers and side walls.
Appraisal
This detached house is enhanced by the retention of its original form and features. The fine doorcase is of particular interest and enhances the building's façade. The tooled stone steps and rendered window surrounds reflect attention to detailing that was employed to enliven the building's appearance. High Park, along with the outbuildings and gate lodge, creates an interesting group of domestic buildings.
