Description
Park Farmhouse is an early 19th-century parish workhouse, with an earlier rear wing, adapted into a farmhouse in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of dressed limestone with a clay tile roof and brick stacks. Interior joinery is timber, and some ground floor rooms have flagstone floors.
The building is two storeys plus attic, arranged on an L-plan. The main elevation has three bays, with a central six-panelled door, having a transom light and a wooden hood supported by consoles. Sixteen-pane sash windows flank the door. The first floor has four-pane wide twelve-pane sashes on either side of a central nine-pane sash. All windows have moulded, flush architraves. Two gabled attic dormers are set into the lower pitch of the mansard roof, each with a pivot-hung window. The left return has two-light casements to both the ground and first floors. The right return features a four-panelled door and a window with a sixteen-pane sash. The east elevation of the rear wing has two-light and three-light casements to both floors. The west side of the wing includes an outshut with two-light casements, two flat-headed dormers with leaded casements, and a planked door to the north gable end contained within a modern projecting porch. A shallow outshut is located to the rear (north) of the front range. The front range roof has a tall end stack and a ridge stack, and the rear wing roof has a further stack.
Inside, the central hallway contains an early 19th-century staircase with a wreathed handrail and stick balusters. Throughout the front range, the joinery includes four-panelled doors, architraves, skirting, and rebated shutters, all with moulded details. Ceilings feature moulded cornices and large section, chamfered beams. The two principal rooms contain fireplaces, one of which dates to the 19th century. One first-floor bedroom also has a 19th-century fireplace. Doors and windows have 19th-century furniture. The rear wing's joinery is plain, with braced plank doors and strap hinges. The attic floor doors are plain plank, and the rear wing has its own 19th-century staircase.
A covered cellar, located below the farmyard, may have been used to store cider apples.
