Description
The farmbuilding at Park Hill Farm, located immediately to the west of the farmhouse, is likely to have originally served as stables with some domestic use. It dates from the early 17th century and is constructed of rubble limestone with a pantile roof. This two-storey elongated structure features large quoins on the south side, which faces away from the farmhouse.
There is a near-central passageway with a basket arch, which has a chamfered ashlar door surround on the left. Beyond this is a 3-light double-chamfered window under a dripstone, although its mullions have been removed. To the far left, there are two segmentally-arched window openings. On the right side of the passage, external steps lead across an original quoined doorway, with an inserted doorway and a casement to the left of the steps.
On the first floor, there is a doorway above the steps and a total of four inserted casements, with the larger ones located on the left. The building has raised verges. At the rear, the passage entrance features a wooden lintel, and there are two intact 3-light double-chamfered mullioned windows on the right side of the first floor, along with ashlar surrounds to slit vents on the left and other inserted openings. The left return has external steps leading to a first-floor doorway.
Inside, the building has collared principal-rafter trusses and double purlins with windbraces. This farmbuilding is the most significant remaining structure at Park Hill, which was the center of a major local estate. It was originally occupied by the Sanderson family in the 17th century and by 1765 became the home of the St. Leger family, who are remembered for the famous horse race named after them. Their house was demolished in 1935.
