Description
Park Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse featuring a colour washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and an asbestos tile roof. The building has a three-room plan and stands two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has two 2-light horizontal sashes and one fixed light, all also with glazing bars. The front door is sheltered by an open gabled porch with an ogee head. A red brick double ridge stack serves a back-to-back hearth and is aligned with the porch. There is a one-storey addition on the north gable end and a weatherboarded barn on the south gable end.
