Description
Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with later alterations and a small 19th-century addition to the left. It is built in Flemish bond brick with a stone plinth. The roof is covered in plain tiles, and there are brick stacks. The house is arranged in a T-plan with a slightly projecting cross wing on the right.
The house is two storeys and has an attic. The main facade has a four-window range, with a one-window addition to the left. A moulded two-panelled door, set near the angle of the main range, has a moulded wooden architrave and a large cornice. A staircase window is above and to the right of the door. Most windows are late 20th-century top-hung casements with glazing bars. A blocked doorway is immediately to the left of the main door, with a blocked window above it. A 19th or 20th-century two-light casement with horizontal glazing bars is on the ground floor of the first bay on the left, with a blocked narrow window above. The second bay has a 19th-century cross window with glazing bars to each floor. The two-window cross wing has a string course above the first floor, and a 19th-century two-light attic casement with glazing bars. Most openings are topped with brick basket arches. The left end stack has two arched panels on its return side.
A lower two-storey addition to the rear has a blocked segmental-arched opening and 20th-century windows. The right return side has a lateral stack. The garden front has the main range of four bays and a narrow bay to the right. The first bay has a 19th-century cross window. A late 20th-century eight-panelled door and overlight are in the second bay. A 19th-century single-storey range extends across the narrow bay. The first floor of the main range has the second, third, and narrow bays blocked. The two-window cross wing has a 19th-century cross window to the second bay, and a blocked window on the left on the first floor. All openings on the garden front have brick flat arches with keystones.
The interior kitchen has a former open fireplace. Another room has a fireplace in a coved recess with flanking arched alcoves. A painted open-well staircase has turned balusters, square newels, a moulded handrail, and acorn drops. The first floor has three-panelled doors with H-L hinges. One room has a bolection moulded fireplace in the corner. The attic has panelled doors. The roof is partly queen strut style.
