Description
South Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with a core from the mid 16th century and an extension added in the early 19th century. It features a three-cell lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys high with attics. The structure is timber framed and plastered, displaying 19th-century herringbone pargetting in panels, along with some 19th-century underbuilding in painted red brick. The roofs are covered with plaintiles, and there is a 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick, along with an end chimney that has a 20th-century rebuilt shaft.
At the lobby entrance, there is a late 18th or early 19th-century gabled two-storey porch that is timber framed and roughcast, with a plaintiled roof. The porch features a round-arched outer doorway and a recessed entrance door with six fielded panels. Inside, there is some notable unmoulded 16th-century framing, including close-studding, chamfered floor joists, and a two-tier wind-braced butt purlin roof. The service cell at the rear contains a mid 16th-century core, which likely began as a two-bay hall, of which an open truss remains. The roof was rebuilt on raised walls in the 19th century. Additionally, there is a 19th-century dairy and bakehouse range that is one and a half storeys tall, made of painted red brick and topped with a plaintiled roof.
