Description

Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates back to the 15th or 16th century and was remodeled in the 17th century and late 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered brick, which likely covers or replaces a timber frame. It features a roof made of pan tiles and corrugated tiles. Originally a late-Medieval house, it was extended and transformed into a Lobby Entrance farmhouse. The exterior is not particularly noteworthy, except for an off-centre axial stack with two octagonal shafts of different sizes. Inside, there are elaborate late-Medieval roll-moulded beams in one room, along with crossed bridging joists and "drawn-together" stops on the common joists. Other visible beams date from the 17th century or later. The roof, dating from the 18th or 19th century, has wedge-tenoned butt-purlins.
