Description
Park Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse. It features a two-storey main range with two matching one-and-a-half storey cross-wings. The building is constructed of brick faced with black knapped flint, squared at the front and random on the sides. It has a white brick band, window surrounds, rusticated quoins, and dentil cornices, topped with a slate roof.
The main range includes two small-paned tripartite sash windows on the ground floor, set in shallow recesses with white brick arches, and single small-paned sashes on the upper floor with flat arches. The central door is a six-panelled design with an arched white brick surround and an outer arch that matches the window recesses but is not recessed. Each cross-wing has a small-paned sash window on both storeys and features a triangular pediment on the gables. Additionally, there is a short curved stretch of high wall adjoining the southeast corner of the house.
