Description

Park Farmhouse is a manor house dating from the 16th century and later. It is constructed of red brick and covered with corrugated smut tiles. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of two storeys and attics, with a single-storey 19th-century range to the north. It is a remnant of the manor house that was built on the site of the former Bishop's Palace. The structure was altered in the mid-18th century and underwent significant changes in 1844.

The south facade features three windows and a 20th-century door set in the original opening. The windows are casements with wrought iron lights and glass quatrefoils. The brick reveals are chamfered, and there are flat chamfered gauged brick arches with moulded brick hood moulds. A shallow brick pilaster is located to the right of the doorway, which is adorned with a medieval stone corbel and a terra-cotta King's head above it. The eaves have a brick dentil course.

To the east, there is a 16th-century gable wall with a brick plinth, a blocked window with a hood mould, and a stepped gable. A fragment of stone tracery is set high in this wall. The west gable wall, dating from the mid-18th century, also has a plinth and incorporates re-used stone that may have come from the Bishop's Palace. The first floor features a casement window and a blocked window, both with segmental brick arches, and there is a moulded brick string course at the attic floor level, along with an attic window that has a segmental brick arch.

The north wing includes 19th-century casement windows and brickwork, along with stepped gables similar to those on the main building. The eaves have a brick dentil course, and there are stepped gables with end gable stacks to the east and west. The single-storey north range is not of special interest. The north gable is inscribed with "RM 1844," and there is a tie iron on the east gable inscribed "M. 1661 M."
