Swanmore Park Farmhouse

Swanmore Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick, partly covered with tiles, and features a clay plain tile roof with half-hipped ends. The building has a central brick axial stack.

The layout includes an entrance lobby in front of the central stack, with back-to-back fireplaces serving the two main rooms. At the rear, there are unheated service rooms in integral outshuts and a central stair-tower. In the 19th century, small single-storey service wings were added on the right (east) side and at the rear, along with a single-storey lean-to on the front right. A single-storey extension was added on the left (west) side in the 20th century.

The exterior is two storeys with attics, featuring a two-window south front. The first floor has three-light casements with glazing bars, while the ground floor includes a multi-pane sash window on the left and a large single-storey lean-to extension in the centre and to the right. There is also a single-storey one-bay extension on the left with a French window, and a set-back single-storey wing with a gable-end stack on the right. The rear (north) side has a catslide roof over the outshuts, with a central stair-tower topped by a hipped roof, a small gable dormer to the left, and a small single-storey wing below.

Inside, the front left room features a fireplace with a chamfered brick three-centred arch and fielded panelling. An arched china cupboard with shaped shelves has been relocated into the left extension. The staircase, dating from the late 17th century, has turned balusters and square newel posts with ball finials, although the lower flight may have been rebuilt. The roof is said to have tie-beam trusses and common-rafter couples without a ridgepiece.
