Barn Range At Park Farmhouse

The barn range at Park Farmhouse consists of a collection of farm outbuildings, including two barns, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The buildings are constructed from stone, timber frame, brick nogging, or weatherboarding, and feature tile or corrugated iron roofs. This long range of structures is located to the north of the farmhouse and includes a threshing barn and an adjoining second barn.

At the western end, there is a lower brick unit, and an open cart shed that extends at right angles toward the farmhouse, with a similar open-fronted shed on the opposite side. The 18th-century threshing barn is built of coursed lias stone and has a tile roof. It features a wide pair of plank doors set in projecting square piers, with three ventilating slits on the left and five on the right; the back is similar. Inside, there is a four-bay queen-post roof supported by two heavy butt purlins, a framed gable wall to the right, and a stone threshing floor.

To the left of the threshing barn is a low early 19th-century brick and tile gabled unit with two segmental-headed doors, along with a nine-bay open-fronted shed with a corrugated iron roof to the south and a six-bay shed to the north. The adjoining 17th-century barn features square panel timber framing with brick nogging, a wide pair of plank doors, and a series of square ventilation openings in the panel below the eaves. The end bay of this barn is made of concrete block, and the interior has a three-bay propped purlin roof from the 17th century. Beyond the second barn, there is a short, lower brick and tile unit, as well as a 19th-century L-plan lower range extending to the south. This extensive range, along with the free-standing stable block and the farmhouse to the south, is a significant part of the farm group.
