Description
The farm buildings at Sandwell Park Farm, now serving as a visitors' centre, were likely built around 1800. They are constructed of brick and topped with tile roofs, arranged around a square farmyard with structures on three sides and a wall enclosing the south side. The buildings are two storeys high, featuring three-storey corner pavilions with pyramid roofs. The north-east tower includes a dovecote. On the east side of the courtyard, the buildings have doors and windows with segmental heads. The west side features an open shed with a seven-bay arcade of elliptical arches. The north side contains a barn with two cart entrances that have elliptical arches, along with a third similar arch to the east that includes smaller doorways. Attached to the west is a single-storey cartshed, now an exhibition wing, which has a six-bay arcade that is now glazed. Further west, there is a two-storey building with two arched cart entrances. These farm buildings were originally constructed as the home farm for the Earl of Dartmouth's Sandwell Hall estate, which was demolished in 1928.
