Description
East Park Farmhouse, built in the mid-19th century for the Brancepeth Estate, is a farmhouse with an attached range of outbuildings at the rear. The building is constructed from squared sandstone in narrow courses, featuring ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with dressed stone chimney stacks. It is designed in a Tudor style, characterized by a narrow two-storey central bay flanked by slightly projecting, cross-gabled bays that are also two storeys high with attics. The farmhouse has a chamfered plinth, flush quoins, and a string course between the storeys.
The central door, which has been replaced, is set within a moulded pointed doorway and is accompanied by a two-pane overlight, located behind a 20th-century glazed porch. The stone-mullioned windows are topped with hoodmoulds, featuring 4-centred heads and a combination of 4-pane and 8-pane sashes: the ground floor has a three-light window with a wider centre light, while the upper floor has a two-light window. Small quatrefoils are present in the gables, and the steeply-pitched roofs have coped gables. The rear of the farmhouse has deep returns with similar window designs and central transverse chimneys with three conjoined square-plan stacks.
Included for group value is a single-storey, L-plan outbuilding located at the left rear, which has boarded doors and a hipped roof.
