Description
Tong Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated E:P to the south, with 19th-century additions. It was built in 1736 using red brick and has a 20th-century tiled roof that is hipped to the right. The building is two storeys high and features a plinth, a plat band, an end stack to the left, and a ridge stack at the right to the rear.
The farmhouse has five bays; the first floor has 19th-century two-light wooden casements, while the ground floor has 19th-century wooden cross windows. All windows have segmental gauged heads and projecting painted keystones. There are rendered blind windows in the right-hand bay, with the first-floor window having a flat head.
The central entrance features a 19th-century half-glazed door, with the lower two sections having trefoiled heads and the top two being glazed. Above the door is a rectangular overlight, and it has a segmental gauged head with a projecting keystone. A 20th-century glazed porch has been added.
On the south front, there are two first-floor 19th-century wooden cross windows flanking a central datestone, and two ground-floor 19th-century wooden mullioned and transomed windows flanking a central blocked segmental-headed doorway.
