Description

Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, although it was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century and again in the mid-19th century. The structure is partly timber-framed and features nodular flint with galleting, while the west elevation is made of knapped flint. The dressings on the west elevation are made of Pulborough stone and yellow brick. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, featuring overhanging eaves. There is one red brick chimney, likely from the 16th century, and the rest are made of yellow brick.

The farmhouse has two storeys and includes a yellow brick modillion eaves cornice on all sides except the west. The only remaining elements from the 16th century are some internal timbers and floorboards, internal wattle-and-daub walls, the red brick chimney breast, and possibly the embrasures of a canted bay window on both storeys of the north elevation. These embrasures are made of ashlar and consist of three 4-centred arched lights at the front and one on each flank, with hollow chamfers on the embrasures and arches. There are at least three mason's marks on the ground floor windows and at least one on the first floor.

The mid-19th century iron casements and lead glazing bars are surrounded by a wall that dates from the same period. The west elevation features three double-hung sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor and two on the ground floor, flanking a doorway that has two Tuscan pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment. The door, which is in plain reveals, is accessed by three limestone steps and has six fielded panels, with the top two being glazed.

The east elevation, which is from the mid-19th century, incorporates four 18th-century iron casement windows with lead glazing bars. There is a one-storey extension to the east with a lean-to slate roof and a moulded eaves cornice of ashlar, which may be a relic from the 16th century. This extension includes a six-panelled door, partly glazed, with a mid-19th century letterbox. The south elevation is obscured by a one-storey scullery extension, which has a hipped slate roof, one planked door, and one four-light iron casement with diagonal lead glazing bars.
