Parham House

Parham House is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is a fragment of a larger house made of red brick, consisting of one side of the former east wing and a small part of the recessed centre. The structure features a combination of brick and timber framing, with some exposed timbering and brick nogging on the northern side, and a plaintiled roof. The surviving wing has two bays separated by giant brick pilasters, with moulded brick ornamentation on the ground floor and a moulded brick band at the first floor level. The quoin displays rusticated brickwork, and the first floor has a convex bulging design. The gable end of the wing is not original. The remaining part of the centre range includes one similar brick pilaster. The brick parapet gable ends feature one with a four-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed, and a simple brick porch. Mid-20th century casement windows are present. To the north, there is an external stack with an octagonal flue and a moulded base. Attached to the northeast is a former stable, constructed of brick with a hipped roof, which has been altered and converted for residential use. This building is noted as one of the earliest known examples of giant brick pilasters in the country.
