Description
Park Farm House and The Flat are a farmhouse and attached flat that have been converted from farm outbuildings. The farmhouse dates from the early 18th century and was enlarged in the early 19th century, while the outbuildings are from the late 18th to early 19th century. The house features walls made of flint and cob, topped with a thatched roof. It has one brick chimney stack at the right end and another near the left end. The building is one storey with an attic. The main front has three casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor. The attic includes one dormer with casements featuring cast iron glazing and one double dormer with casements that have glazing bars. The rear wall has a range of bee boles made in the cob.
Inside, the room at the left end is open to the roof and likely served as a former bakehouse, featuring a large open fireplace with a bread oven and a curing chamber.
The Flat is attached at a right angle to the house at the left end, with brick and flint walls and a thatched roof. It is a single-storey structure. At the end of this range is a former granary that is two storeys high, with lower walls made of brick and boarded above, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof. A through-passage with ledged doors at the junction with the house provides access to both buildings. The outer elevation of The Flat includes one casement window with part lead lights and part cast iron glazing, one 20th-century metal casement, and two casements with glazing bars. The former granary has 20th-century timber windows on both floors. Attached to the granary on the north-east side is a flint and cob boundary wall with thatched capping, which encloses the courtyard on the south-east side.
