Description
Seend Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, which features a refronting of a 17th-century timber-framed building. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof that is half-hipped to the west and hipped at the southeast angle. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range in an L-shape plan.
The front of the farmhouse displays flush quoins, chequered brickwork, an ashlar plinth, and a drip course. It features cyma-moulded flush stone mullion windows, with three-light windows on each side and a two-light window in the centre of the first floor above the door, which is set in a flush moulded surround and topped with a hipped stone slate hood. A quoin at the southeast angle is dated TR 1766.
The rear wing includes a ridge stack and has a two-window range of similar three-light windows, although one has been replaced by a 20th-century window. The rear wall is timber-framed but is obscured by a lean-to. Inside, the farmhouse has heavy chamfered beams throughout. The house has been recorded since 1632, and Thomas Rutty is noted as the owner in the late 18th century.
