Description
Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with early 17th-century and later alterations. It is timber framed and rendered, with the left-hand return and the first bay of the rear clad in painted brick. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles. The building consists of three cells and features a lobby entrance, rising to two storeys. There are 19th-century cross casements, with three on the ground floor and four on the first floor, mostly with three lights, while the window above the door in the second bay has two lights. A 20th-century timber-framed porch includes a plank and muntin door. A 19th-century axial brick stack has a dentil course at the base and two diagonally set shafts with oversailing caps. At the rear, the central bay is jettied and has a tall, narrow, small-paned window on the first floor. Inside, the jettied section has a blocked ground floor rear window. The left-hand cell features part of a cornice at the front and back that is roll-moulded in three or four orders, while the rest of the interior appears to date from around 1600. There is a chamfered main beam, but there is no access to the upper floor.
