Halland Park Farmhouse

Halland Park Farmhouse was largely built around 1770 by Lord Pelham, using materials from the earlier Halland House, which had been constructed in 1595 by Sir Thomas Pelham and served as the principal residence of the Pelham family until its dismantling in 1768 following the death of the Duke of Newcastle. The farmhouse is L-shaped and stands immediately to the southwest of the remains of Halland House. It is three storeys high and has three windows on its main facade. The main section is built of painted brick, with a hipped tiled roof and intact glazing bars in the windows. An interior porch has a pediment containing a doorway with a moulded architrave surround, a rectangular fanlight, and a flat hood on brackets. Above the centre first-floor window is a triangular-headed panel displaying the Pelham arms and the date 1595, marking the year Halland House was originally built. The L-wing, facing southwest, is of red brick and has a lower elevation with three windows. This section incorporates older fabric and was likely a subsidiary part of the original Halland House.
