North Parks Farmhouse

North Parks Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The facade is painted roughcast rendered brick, while the rear is constructed from stone rubble. The roof is a mansard style covered with slate, with corrugated asbestos at the rear and brick chimneys at each end. The building features a modillion cornice.

The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central staircase, two rooms deep, where the former kitchen is located on the rear left side and the dairy on the right. There is a cellar beneath the right-hand front room. A former servants' stair is situated in the rear right corner of the kitchen, and a partition between the entrance hall and the left-hand room was removed in the 20th century. A single-storey outshut at the rear was rebuilt in the 20th century.

The exterior has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic storey, with a three-window range and symmetrical 20th-century fenestration in the original openings. The central doorway is semi-circular headed and features a 20th-century gabled porch.

Inside, much of the 18th and 19th-century joinery remains intact on the ground floor, including a 19th-century staircase with turned balusters and newels topped with acorn finials. The fireplaces were rebuilt in the 20th century. The 18th-century roof structure includes common rafters, with the wall plate at the rear supported by a solid wall partition that rises through two storeys and continues around the side walls. This is supported at the front by two tie beams on elbowed posts resembling upper crucks, which are tied to the rafters with cruck spurs. The attic storey is divided into two rooms, originally with lath and plaster walls extending to the roof apex, and was accessed by a staircase in the rear left chamber, which has been removed in the 20th century. The attic was previously illuminated by two front dormer windows. North Parks Farmhouse is a rare example of a brick-fronted 18th-century farmhouse in North Devon.
