Description
Old Park House is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a likely raising of the upper storey in the later 17th century and mid-19th century extensions. The building is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and features a concrete interlocking tile roof. It has two storeys plus an attic and four first-floor windows, along with an added rear outshut and a single-storey range to the rear left and end right. The structure has quoins and, in the second bay, a part-glazed door set in a chamfered quoined surround with a hoodmould.
On the ground floor, there are 3-light double-chamfered mullion windows with hoodmoulds, although the window in the first bay has had its mullions removed and replaced with a 20th-century casement window. The first floor features 3-light double-chamfered mullion windows, except for the second bay, which has a single-light window leading to the attic staircase that is blocked with small hand-made bricks. The building has shaped kneelers and raised verges with ashlar coping. There are 20th-century brick stacks at the end left and between the second and third bays. To the right, there is a 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension with a board door in a quoined surround.
At the rear, the windows of the 19th-century outshut have quoined surrounds. The left return features a part-glazed door in a chamfered, quoined, triangular-headed surround, providing access at the side of the chimney stack. There is a 2-light attic window, partly blocked with small hand-made bricks, and to the left, a single-storey extension with quoined surrounds to its openings and a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves. The right return includes a pigeoncote in the gable of the main house and a lean-to extension with a cart-shed that separates a household two-seater earth closet at the front from a farmworkers' two-seater earth closet at the rear.
Inside, the house features stop-chamfered beams and irregularly spaced joists. To the left, there is a brick-lined chimneystack with an ingle-post and a stepped stop-chamfered beam on the ground floor. The stack is shaped like a smoke hood on the first floor and has a brick top in the attic. The original straight-flight staircase leads to the attic, with winders at the top and splat balusters. The attic also retains original butt-jointed floorboards and plank doors. The roof structure consists of three trusses with curved principals that terminate in collars.
