Description

Park Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, which was modernised between 1978 and 1979. It features a two-cell main range with a contemporary service range at the rear, creating a T-shaped plan. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof on the main range and a thatched roof on the rear range. It stands two storeys high with attics in the main range. The windows are primarily mid-20th century casements, although two original mullioned windows are visible at first floor level, along with two others on the rear wall.

The entrance has a mid-20th century plank door with cover battens and a small oblong fanlight. The stack is notable for its two 19th-century octagonal shafts with corbelled star caps. The left gable end showcases fully exposed studs and a jettied first floor supported by plain brackets and four buttress shafts, two of which are fragmentary. The weathered bressummer was likely moulded. There is a blocked secondary ground floor window featuring cavetto mullions.

Inside, the hall and parlour boast well-crafted moulded beam and joist ceilings. The parlour ceiling includes a fully-moulded axial floor beam with run-out stops, and joists that have one hollow and one roll moulding, along with an applied moulded cornice. The hall ceiling features a double hollow moulding on all components, extending down the wall posts. The queen-post roof above the parlour cell has been altered, likely during the creation of the attic. The service range consists of four bays, one of which contains a stack, and has plain joists on the ground floor. The queen-post roof over this range is distinctive for having an additional pair of queen-posts outside the main ones, with short side ties connecting the main queen-posts to the tops of the outer ones. Originally, the roof was hipped. Both ranges exhibit high-quality studding with reversed braces.
