Farmbuildings Immediately West North West Of Park Farmhouse

A planned range of farm buildings, dating from 1844, although possibly earlier in the 19th century. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a timber-frame front to the cart and implement shed. The roof is covered with red clay pantiles, featuring shaped and stepped gable ends.

The layout is E-shaped, comprising a large 5-bay barn on the east side, a cart and implement shed and stable range with a granary above on the west side, and a cow house as the central range, linked by lower ranges along the south.

The barn has a large central cart entrance with a 20th-century sliding door on the west side, a wide midstrey on the east side with a shaped gable, and a tablet inscribed “E.O. 1844” in the north end gable. 20th-century farm buildings have been built against the east side of the barn. The central cow house range has stepped gable ends and a doorway on the north end. The west range includes a 6-bay cart-shed facing the yard; the two right-hand bays have plank doors, and a narrower loft doorway is situated between them. A timber-framed loft is above, with brick infilling and louvred ventilation windows. Stables to the right have a granary loft doorway in the gable end.

Inside the barn, the roof is a 5-bay tenoned purlin structure with collar and tie-beam trusses, the intermediate trusses without tie-beams, and features common rafters and a ridgeboard.

The initials “E.O.” stand for Earl of Orford.
