Description
Park Farm House is a farmhouse dating from 1685, with later extensions in the 19th century and alterations in the 20th century. It features a timber frame on a brick base, with roughcast exterior. The roofs are machine tiled and slated. The building has a three-cell cross passage plan, with a kitchen and dairy addition to the left, which has been altered to create a lobby entrance. The house is two storeys tall with an attic.
The entrance is located to the right of the center, sheltered by a 20th-century open gabled porch. To the left of the entrance is a 19th-century tripartite sash window, and to the far left, there is a second entrance to the service bay with 20th-century tripartite casements. The first floor features 20th-century two and four-light casements. There are two gabled dormers on the roof, and a ridge stack is positioned to the right of center between the hall and parlour, with its cap rebuilt. The two-storey kitchen and dairy addition to the left has mixed casements and a shallow hipped slate roof, with a door and an early leaded window pane at the rear, along with 20th-century additions behind the main range.
Inside, some of the timber framing is exposed, showing studding with chamfered mid-rails. The hall features a bar stopped ovolo moulded axial binding beam, while the parlour has a triple ovolo moulded axial binding beam with elaborate leaf and bar stops, along with traces of ovolo mullioned windows. The first floor has an arched brace in the walling, and the parlour chamber includes a double bar stopped ovolo moulded cross axial binding beam, with collars to the side purlin roof.
