Description

Rough Park is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. The main part of the building dates from the early 18th century, with early 19th-century additions that connect it to an outbuilding with a 17th-century core. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a plain tile roof featuring raised verges, brick ridge, and end stacks. The main house is oriented northwest to southeast and faces southwest, while the earlier outbuilding is aligned northeast to southwest. In the early 19th century, these two structures were linked by an extension to the northwest of the main house, and a new wing was added to the south side, creating the current cruciform layout.

The building has two storeys and an attic, with a first-floor band and dentilled eaves below a plain parapet. There is a straight joint between the early 18th-century house and the 19th-century extension on the left. The 18th-century section features a three-window front with 19th-century four-pane sash windows set within 18th-century openings that have segmental heads. To the left of the centre is a 20th-century six-panel door with a rectangular overlight. Adjacent to the left is a 19th-century gabled wing with a two-window front of sash windows, also with segmental heads. The 19th-century extension to the main range is set back and has three storeys with two bays, featuring sash windows with segmental heads.

Inside, there is an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters that include square knots. The Dining Room has 18th-century oak panelling. The rear wing contains a 17th-century timber cross-frame with a queen strut roof, and there are curved principals over both the rear wing and the main house.
