Description

Park End Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It features slobbered rubble walls and an old green slate roof laid in diminishing courses. The building has two end chimney stacks and a large circular chimney stack above the inglenook fireplace. On the ground floor, there are two doors and three modern casement windows. The upper floor has four windows, including one with original lattice in heavy timber mullions and one 19th-century cross window with a single opening light in an iron frame. Inside, there is a massive inglenook fireplace with an oak crane for suspending cooking pots, along with some old boarded doors.
