Description
Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of red brick, with some areas rendered, and features a steeply-pitched pantile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, following a lobby-entrance plan. The south elevation consists of five unequal bays, with many openings altered over time; the windows are generally 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There is one first-floor 4-light casement with a transom and leaded glazing, and a platband at first-floor level. The right-hand bay on the ground floor has a pair of glazed doors with sidelights and fanlights, while the central entrance features 2-leaf half-glazed doors beneath a later pedimented trellis porch. An axial chimney stack is slightly off-centre to the west, and the gables are parapeted with tumbling-in.
Inside, there is a T-shaped stack on the east gable. The east gable has two blocked first-floor 3-light mullioned windows with rendered infill, one casement, and one blocked opening at the attic level, along with iron letters "I H" on the purlin ties. The west gable includes two 20th-century ground-floor casements, a first-floor sash window with glazing bars and an architrave, and one attic casement. A catslide lean-to is located on the north-west corner, featuring large chimney stacks with tumbling-in at the base of the shaft. The north wall is rendered and has two 2-light first-floor casements, two doorways (one with an elliptical-arched recess), and two 2-light ground-floor casements. There is also a pantiled lean-to porch at the angle of the building.
