Park Farmhouse

Park Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with early 18th-century, 19th-century, and 20th-century additions. The original core is built of red English bond brick, with the 18th-century section in Flemish bond, and the 19th and 20th-century additions in English garden wall bond brick. It has a slate roof. The front of the house, dating from the 18th century, features Flemish bond brickwork and black headers. A band of brick two bricks deep runs between the ground and first floors, and a moulded string course of brick sits between the first and attic floors. A central ground-floor four-panel doorway is flanked by a hornless sash window of two-by-two panes to the left and a two-light casement window to the right. Above the doorway, the band forms a small pediment, and a sash window of two-by-two panes is present on the first floor to the left, with a two-light casement at right. Two-light casement windows are visible in the gable, which has a 20th-century brick chimney stack positioned centrally, with stone coping and springers. The right-hand return has an early 19th-century wing at the centre, originally a separate cottage. Bands of brick three bricks deep, resting on projecting headers, run to the left and right of this central wing. A single-light 20th-century window is on the ground floor to the left, and a window of two casement lights with a 17th-century leaded surround and three-by-four panes to each light is above. A basket relieving arch is above this window. To the right of the central wing, a two-light ground floor casement window is present, along with a blank window to the first floor. To the right of this is an 18th-century extension of one bay in Flemish bond brick with a band of brick two bricks deep between the floors, and sash windows of two-by-two panes to both floors. The rear of the house has two blocked ground floor windows and a 20th-century casement window to the first floor to the right. A centrally recessed panel to the centre of the first floor is stuccoed, with the date 1727 set in pebbles. A band runs between the first floor and the attic, which has a 19th-century two-light window. The gable has stone springers and coping. Inside, there are chamfered ceiling beams on the ground floor and a two-panel door dating from the early 18th century. A fitted clothes press is found in one first-floor room with doors from the late 17th/early 18th century.
