Description
Park Farmhouse and its garden wall are a mid-18th century farmhouse with later additions. The building is constructed from roughcast sandstone rubble with dressed quoins and features a 20th-century concrete tiled roof and brick stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance has a part-glazed 20th-century door set in a raised surround. On either side, there are 19th-century canted bay windows with 12-pane and 8-pane sashes. The first floor features 12-pane sashes with raised sills, although the central sash has been renewed. At the rear, there is a single-storey outshut with a truncated round-headed staircase window. The moderately-pitched roof has tall gable copings and kneelers, with 19th-century chimneys at each end.
The garden wall, which is semicircular in plan and made of dressed sandstone, is attached to the left side of the farmhouse and the left return of the threshing barn. It stands about 1 metre high, has chamfered coping, and includes two octagonal gate piers with rounded tops.
The addition and farm buildings to the right are not of special interest.
