Description
Park Farmhouse and Park Farm Cottages are a row of cottages dating from around 1700, with 18th-century additions to the east and west. The central section is built in Flemish bond, while the additions are in English bond, all constructed of red brick and topped with a red pantiled roof. The buildings are two storeys high with attics and feature five windows. They display picturesque Gothick details.
No. 36 to the west and No. 38 to the east each have two ground floor casement windows, while No. 37 in the center has one. There are five first floor casement windows, all of which are two-lights with wooden frames and glazing bars, featuring four-centred arched heads and additional internal metal Gothick tracery. The cottages have three doors, each with barge board gable porches and trellis work reveals.
Architectural details include a brick dentil eaves cornice, kneelers, and crow-stepped gables, along with a steeply pitched roof that has two end stacks and one ridge stack. There is an outshut at the rear, which includes a two-storey flat roof extension from the 20th century added to No. 36.
