Description

Park House Farm House is a hall house dating from the 14th century, with later extensions from the 15th and 17th centuries, and further additions and restorations made in the 1930s. The structure is timber framed, with some posts renewed, featuring whitewashed brick infill and a brick plinth. The roofs are plain tiled from the 20th century, hipped with a gablet at the front and an oversailing gable to the right.

The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a three-bay hall house at the front, a 17th-century single bay extension to the left, and a 15th-century two-bay hall to the rear at right angles. It is two storeys high, with an offset double stack chimney at the front left, diagonal shafts that were rebuilt in the 20th century, a fine 17th-century ribbed stack in the rear wing with beehive pots, and a 19th-century stack at the right end.

The windows are 20th-century diamond-frame leaded casements, with two on the first floor to the left and one to the right, mirroring the arrangement below. A 1930s ogee hip-roofed porch, which is two storeys tall and located to the right of centre, features a jetty on three sides. The first floor has tension bracing, one window, and a studded door below.

At the rear, there are two dormers on the wing, which are underbuilt in brick. Inside, there is a cambered tie beam and a braced square crown-post to the left in the front range, with other braced crown posts exposed. A larger octagonal crown post with full four-way bracing is supported by a large cambered tie beam, which has broach stops to the chamfers on the post and a moulded cap, located in the rear hall. There is duplicate curved bracing in the Hall/Solar partition at the front, and spur pieces in the spandrels between the main posts and arched braces of the open truss of the hall. The east end of the solar overhangs the hall, which is a rare occurrence in Surrey. A report and survey of the house, prepared by R. T. Mason in the 1960s, are in the possession of the owners.
