Description
Park House Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse with 19th-century alterations and extensions, including a further extension from the late 19th century. It is constructed of pink-red and red brick with a pantile roof. Originally L-shaped, it features an early 19th-century extension to the left and a late 19th-century extension to the rear.
The garden front has a two-storey, two-window layout with a cross gable to the right and a low two-storey range to the left. The central entrance is a panelled door with a shaped centre light and overlight, sheltered by a 20th-century gabled trellis porch. To the left, there is a canted bay window with a four-pane sash and a tented roof, while to the right is another four-pane sash with a keyed flat arch. The first floor has similar windows with thin timber lintels, and all windows feature painted stone sills. The gable is coped with a shaped kneeler, and there is an end stack on the left. The low range to the left has a catslide roof and a central stack.
The right return side has two storeys and two windows, with four-pane sashes and painted stone sills throughout, as well as a stepped brick eaves course and paired centre stacks. The rear features two-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sashes with painted stone sills, segmental arches over ground-floor openings, and a stepped and dentilled eaves course.
Inside, the ground floor includes a room to the left with reused 17th-century carved panelling around the window bay and fireplace. The room to the right has two fireplace alcoves with keyed round-arched architraves and moulded shelves, as well as panelled shutter boxes for hung shutters. On the first floor, the room to the left features a 17th-century carved and panelled door beneath the stairs leading to the attic.
