Description
Park Farmhouse and the attached washhouse/outbuilding range is a farmhouse with medieval origins, dating from the 17th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The garden front features ashlar stonework and a stone slate roof laid in diminishing courses, complete with stone copings and moulded kneelers. The building has stone end and ridge stacks and is designed in a three-unit plan with a rear wing forming a U-shape. It stands two storeys plus an attic and has a three-window range.
The central entrance includes a six-panelled door with an overlight, flanked by sidelights and a swept canopy hood. On either side of the entrance are tripartite sashes with wooden lintels. The first floor features a tripartite sash and a 20-pane sash, both in moulded wood frames with wooden lintels. A stone plinth supports the structure. The rear of the farmhouse displays two medieval buttresses and a 19th-century window with honeycomb glazing beneath a chamfered stone head. There is a 17th-century wing at the rear, constructed of squared, coursed ironstone, topped with a 20th-century tile roof. This wing has two entrances, including a panelled and glazed door in a wooden frame to the right and a 20th-century porch to the left.
The 19th-century outbuilding/washhouse range is built of coursed ironstone rubble and also features a 20th-century tile roof. It has two entrances with plank doors and wooden lintels, as well as a three-light casement on the first floor and a loft door with a tiny wooden lintel.
Inside, the farmhouse includes boxed beams, pine window shutters, reveals, window boxes, doors, and cupboards. There is a closed well staircase and 17th-century panelling on the first floor, likely brought from Broughton Castle. The kitchen contains an 18th-century fireplace that fronts an earlier range, with two stop-chamfered kitchen beams and 17th-century panelled doors with L-hinges. A stone doorway with a pointed arched head adds to the interior's historical character.
