Description
Park Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century or earlier, with substantial alterations and extensions throughout the 17th to mid-19th centuries. The house is timber framed and has a red brick ground floor, tile hanging on the first floor, and a plain tiled roof. It has an L-shaped plan with a lobby entry to the main block. The house is two storeys high with a garret. A continuous ground floor verandah, supported by braced timber posts, runs along the front and extends to the left return wing. The roof is hipped to the left and half-hipped to the right, with a tall, moulded stack centrally to the right and an offset, projecting stack to the front left. There are four wooden casement windows on the first floor, alternating between two and three lights, and two three-light casement windows on the ground floor, with a boarded door in the centre to the right. The left return wing has two wooden casement windows on each floor and a massive central stack cluster containing three moulded and lozenge-set flues. A deep catslide roof extends to the rear. One of the wings may have originated as a hall house.
