Description

East Carlton Park includes interpretation, craft and heritage centres, a cafeteria, an attached barn, and Home Farmhouse. The complex, originally a coach house, stables, farmhouse, and barn, now serves as facilities for a country park. It features a datestone from 1768 associated with the Palmer family of East Carlton Hall. The buildings are primarily constructed of brick with slate roofs, while part of the barn is made of squared coursed limestone with a Swithland slate roof. The layout is U-shaped, with the farmhouse occupying the south wing.

The farmhouse has a main front with a three-window range of sash windows that have glazing bars and are set under gauged brick heads. A central six-panel door is topped with a fanlight featuring glazing bars and a moulded wood surround. The farmhouse also has a moulded wood cornice and a hipped roof with brick stacks at the ridge.

To the left, there is a seven-window range that represents the rear of the former stables and coach house, which connects to the barn. The barn has a central cart entrance with a segmental arch head and a hipped roof. The rear elevation of the barn is made of stone and has a blocked central cart entrance. The main elevation of the former coach house and stables, located at the rear of Home Farm, is a seven-bay range. The centre bay projects forward and features a large carriage arch that has been glazed, topped with a pediment. There are three-window ranges on either side of 20th-century casements in original openings at the first floor, with gauged brick heads and keyblocks. The ground floor retains some original gauged brick heads with keyblocks, although the openings have been reconstructed in the 20th century. The roof is gabled, and there is a large armorial plaque with the date in the pediment.

Inside the Home Farmhouse, there is a late 18th-century staircase with turned balusters. The rear rooms show evidence of a brick vault that was formerly an open carriage arch. The interior of the barn features a brick cross wall on the left, pierced by an arch head and circular openings. The interiors of the stables and coach house were remodeled in the 20th century.
