Old Cottage And Farmbuildings To West Of Park House Farmhouse

The Old Cottage and farm buildings to the west of Park House Farmhouse date from the late 18th century and are arranged around a foldyard. The cottage is part of a former farmhouse that was destroyed by fire around 1930. The buildings are constructed of coursed rubble with roughly-cut quoins and cut dressings, featuring graduated stone slate roofs, except for a 20th-century metal sheet roof on the lean-to at the east end of the cottage and pantiles on the cottage privy. The buildings surround a small rectangular yard that opens to the south, with the cottage forming the cross-wing at the south end of the east range.

The cottage is two storeys high and has two bays. It features a central boarded door, an inserted pitching door above to the left, and a blocked stone-surround window above to the right. To the right, there is an attached pent privy. The left gable is coped with moulded kneelers, and there is a stack at the right end. The left return shows a blocked first-floor door and a partially blocked segmental arch in the rear outshut.

The farm buildings facing the yard include a barn on the west side, which has a central stable door and two levels of slit vents, with the lower level blocked. The barn has coped gables on moulded kneelers. The single-storey north range has two stable doors, while the single-storey east range has two boarded doors. The barn has a similar rear elevation. The north end of the east range features a boarded door and a stone-surround window under a coped gable with moulded kneeler. There are also two boarded doors at the rear of the east range. The lean-to at the east end of the cottage, which is part of the former farmhouse, has stone-surround windows. Most doors are set in heavy alternating-block surrounds.

The 20th-century cowsheds attached to the south end of the barn are not of special interest.
