Description
Park Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 19th century, with a rear block that dates back to the early 17th century. The building features painted brick and a slate roof with end stacks, along with a moulded wood eaves cornice. The rear block is timber-framed with brick infill and has additions at each end, while the front is covered in painted roughcast. It has an old tiled roof, a central brick chimney, and a later chimney on the west bay. The house is two storeys high, and most windows have margin glazing.
On the northeast elevation, there are two bays of 2-light casements with painted lintels, and the gables feature bargeboards and finials. The west elevation includes a two-storey gabled porch to the right, which has a half-glazed flush-panel door with a rectangular fanlight and a stucco doorcase with panelled pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The south elevation of the rear block has a small 18th-century projecting wing to the left, featuring sash windows on each floor, a central flush-panel door in a moulded architrave frame, two 2-light casements to the left, a modern 3-light casement to the right, and a later bay to the right with a door and a 2-light casement with a segmental arch. There are four 2-light casements on the first floor. The north elevation of the rear wing has two bays of 2-light casements. The east gable of the main block has a flush-panel door, with the upper panel glazed, and a margin-glazed fanlight above it, along with a 1-light upper sash.
Inside, the entrance hall features two openings in the south wall with heavy arch features. The staircase has scrolled tread-ends, a rope-mould to the soffit, square newels, balusters, and a slender handrail that curves around the wall at the upper landings. The front rooms have a moulded cornice and two marble fireplaces. The rear block showcases exposed timber framing, heavy chamfered spine beams, an inglenook fireplace, and the original roof structure with queen post trusses, curved windbraces, and coupled rafters.
