Description
Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse located on the Stanford Park estate, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th century. The building features a Flemish garden wall and is constructed of red brick in Flemish stretcher bond, with additional extensions in Flemish bond. It has concrete tile roofs with gabled ends and brick coped eaves. The farmhouse includes brick axial and gable end stacks.
The layout consists of a long four-room plan. The center and right-hand rooms are heated by back-to-back fireplaces in an axial stack. An entrance-stair hall is situated between the center and left room, which may either be a 19th-century addition or a remodelling that occurred when the 19th-century rear left wing was added. There are also 19th and 20th-century rear outshuts.
The exterior is two storeys with an attic and features an asymmetrical four-window west front. The ground floor has 19th-century three-light casements with glazing bars and segmental arches, while the first floor has two-light windows left of center and replaced plastic casements on the right-hand side. A 19th-century glazed door is located left of center, and there is a platband at first floor level in the center and right sections. The 19th-century rear wing and a single-storey outshut were extended in the 20th century.
Inside, the right (south) room has a chamfered axial beam with run-out stops and a fireplace with a cambered timber lintel. The left room (north) features a similar axial beam and a 20th-century chimneypiece. The center room has a boxed-in axial beam and a 20th-century chimneypiece. The interior also includes 18th and 19th-century joinery, such as panelled doors and an open string staircase with shaped tread ends, stick balusters, a moulded handrail, and a column newel. The roof structure from the 18th and 19th centuries has principals crossed at the apex, collars, and large through purlins for support.
