Stortford Park Farmhouse

Stortford Park Farmhouse is a building from the 16th century and early 17th century, featuring a timber frame with red brick walls added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a steeply pitched roof covered with old red tiles and is arranged in an L-shape over two storeys. The farmhouse originally has four timber frame bays, with the eastern bay being an early 17th-century addition. The south front dates from the early 18th century and includes five windows, with 19th-century casement and modern sash replacements. There is a band between the ground and first floors, and a central brick chimney stack from the 17th century with both square and diagonal shafts. The north front features an early 19th-century extension with five unequal gables of varying roof heights, including a west gable made of 18th-century brick. The north front also has 19th-century casements and modern gabled wooden porches. The garden includes a pond and topiary, and the farmhouse is part of an attractive group with nearby barns.
