Description
Park Hall Farmhouse is an early 17th century farmhouse, significantly altered in 1702 and restored in the early 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and ashlar sandstone dressings, featuring a deep plinth and steeply pitched red clay tile roofs with chamfered stone copings on plain kneelers, two large ridge stacks, and a coved eaves band. The building has two storeys plus an attic and a basement to the northern end. The farmhouse has a double lobby entrance plan and five bays.
The main elevation features a gabled two-storey brick porch to the southern end, housing a segment-headed doorcase with a stone plinth. The inner doorcase is chamfered with a four-centred arched head, containing the original studded wooden door complete with strap hinges and a Y knocker. A 17th century four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould is positioned to the south of the porch. To the north, there are three early 18th century three-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows, also with dripmoulds. A quoined chamfered doorcase separates the pair of northern windows. Above these are similar windows, one in the porch. Further south is another 17th century four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. Two full gabled dormers with three-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with dripmoulds are situated above. The garden front exhibits coursed squared stone to the south and ashlar to the north. The southern portion includes a gabled staircase tower with a three-light recessed and chamfered window under a dripmould, and a painted lean-to with a 20th century three-light window. Beyond the staircase tower to the north is a 17th century three-light window with a dripmould, followed by an early 18th century ashlar addition incorporating a quoined chamfered doorcase flanked by recessed and chamfered single-light windows with a glazed 20th century door and lintel inscribed 'L I D 1702.' Two further early 18th century two-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with dripmoulds complete this section. Above are three similar windows to the north and two 17th century three-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows either side of the staircase turret, which itself has a matching two-light window.
The interior features an ovolo moulded beam and fireplace in the northern room, a large stone fireplace with a moulded surround in the central room, and four-centred arched chamfered fireplaces to the ground and first floor rooms to the south. The fenestration is all early 20th century.
