Park Farm Cottage

Park Farm Cottage is a hall house dating from the mid to late 16th century, which was restored in the 20th century. It features a timber frame on a whitewashed rendered plinth with red brick infilling, and there is some flint rubble and knapped flint and brick chequerwork on the ground floor to the left. The roof is plain tiled and half-hipped. The building has two storeys with three framed bays, and the first floor center bay has arched bracing, indicating its function as the hall. There is an offset front stack to the left and an end stack to the right. The windows are irregular leaded casements, with five on the first floor and four below. To the left of center, there is a pent-roofed 20th-century brick porch featuring a stable-style door and flanking lights. There is also a further pentice extension to the left that envelops the stack. The left-hand return front is tile hung on the first floor. At the rear, there is a truncated older stack in the center and a gabled dormer to the left. Inside, the cottage has a diminishing principal rafter roof with clasped purlins and a 17th-century ceiling in the ground floor center. This building was a significant hall house when it was constructed.
