Bagworth Park Farmhouse

Bagworth Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, with alterations from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a Swithland slate roof, along with pairs of octagonal gable stacks. The building has a chamfered blue brick plinth and dentilated eaves. It is three storeys high, with a south front that has three bays and a slightly projecting central bay. There is a projecting gabled 19th-century porch with double, half-glazed doors set in a reeded surround. On either side of the porch are single inpartite plain sash windows. Above the porch, there is a central plain sash window flanked by single inpartite plain sashes, all of which have segment-headed wedge lintels. Above this, a smaller central sash is flanked by small inpartite sashes, all featuring wooden lintels. To the right, there is a single-storey 19th-century lean-to conservation or vine house. The rear wall incorporates fragments of an older house. This farmhouse is situated on a moated site that was once the location of a great house in Bagworth Park. It was held by the Earl of Mellent at the time of the Conquest and belonged to the Bishop of Durham in 1310. In 1472, Lord William Hastings was granted a licence to crenellate the house, which was garrisoned for Charles I and completely devastated during the Civil War.
