Description
Park Farmhouse is a brick farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, with extensions added in the late 19th century. It has a tile roof and brick stacks. The building is arranged in three parallel ranges, with two lower wings creating a narrow courtyard to the north. The main block is symmetrical, notable for its unusual stair position to one side of the central passage. Originally accessed from the west, the principal front now faces east.
The west front is three stories high and has three windows. It features 9-over-12, 12-over-12, and 4:12:4-pane sash windows, all set within good brick voussoirs. The central second floor has a recessed blank section. A gabled porch with a 12-pane sash window and glazed inner door is centrally placed. A large brick stack with pilaster ends and moulded brick caps sits at the eaves to the left of the porch. A later wing is positioned to the left, containing a variety of windows.
The south end of the farmhouse has three gables, with pilaster ends to brick caps. There are blank recesses on the first and second floors on the left side, a 2-light casement at the top right, and a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor to the left. A modern flat-roofed conservatory covers a pair of French doors. A set-back ridge has a brick stack with diagonally-set flues.
The east front has three 2-light casements, two with segmental heads, and a second 2-light close to the eaves. A canted hipped bay with a replacement casement is centrally located, alongside a 3-light window. The lower wing to the right has three lights at each of two levels, set within tumbled brick arches, and a large gable stack with four conjoined flues.
The north end has two gables fronted by a single-storey lean-to with doors and panels in timber.
The interior features a compact staircase with stick balusters and turned polished newels. Original panelled doors, a large elliptical opening from the hallway to a southwest room, a cellar running the full width under a paved cross passage with a segmental brick vault, and beams with slight chamfer are also present. "Park Farmhouse" derives its name from its former association with Tewkesbury Park, now Tewkesbury Park Hotel.
