Lower Old Park Farmhouse And Range Of Outbuildings To The West

Lower Old Park Farmhouse is a 2-storey, 4-bay timber-framed building located at the east end, featuring a classical 18th-century front on the easternmost three bays. The farmhouse has an old tiled roof with a hip at the east end. The front is made of red brick with brick dentil eaves. The left-hand windows are 4 panes wide, while the center has a 3-pane wide sash window, and the right side features 3-light sash windows. There is a round-headed doorway with a semi-circular fanlight and a 6-panelled door set in panelled reveals. A modern doorcase with pilasters on each side and a flat moulded hood on cut brackets is also present. The fourth bay to the left is of brick, with a lower frontage and ridge, and has a red tile-hung gable. It contains 3-light casements with modern leaded panes. In the west returning wall, there is one window and a modern splaued bay below.

Attached to the farmhouse at the west end is a long range of outbuildings, dating from the 18th to 19th century, which are now partly converted for domestic use. This range is 1 storey and attic at the right-hand end, featuring three gabled dormers, while the rest is 2 storeys high. It has an old tiled roof and brick cladding, with approximately 11 bays. The modern casements are of various shapes and sizes, arranged irregularly but harmoniously. Towards the center of the range, a passageway runs through the ground floor to the north side, where the rounded shape of a former oast kiln is still visible. At the left-hand end of the range, there is an outbuilding with a much lower ridge line and a tall, very steeply pitched old tiled roof that descends very low, with a wall-plate of weatherboarding on brick.
