Description
Park Home Farm Steading, dated 1867, consists of a steading block, a residential block, and a bothy. The buildings are constructed from whinstone rubble with some pinning (cherry cocking) and dressed with stugged ashlar.
The steading, located to the west, currently functions as a range of vehicle sheds but was originally designed with cattle courts. Its south elevation features a former cartshed and granary with five segmental cart-arches at ground level and one pedestrian door. Above, there are two irregular gabled granary openings, with one now glazed and fitted with a timber mullioned bipartite window. The east elevation has five bays, with the outer bays being two-storey and gabled. There is a blinded cart-arch in the outer left bay with a window above it, and a machine door in the outer right bay, which has a blocked window above. The three intervening bays have sliding doors to irregular openings, each topped with timber gableheads.
To the east, there are two cottages that have been combined into a single five-bay house. Originally, doors were located in the second and fourth bays at ground level, but the door to the right is now blocked and has been converted into a window. A boarded door remains in the second bay, accompanied by a two-pane fanlight. Windows are present in the flanking bays, and there are four gabled dormers that break the eaves above.
The bothy, situated to the southeast, is a small, single-storey structure with a rectangular plan and a gabled roof. It features a door in the west gable, topped by a round-arched stone with an ashlar pediment and a finialled bellcote above the bell, which is still in place. There is a window on the return to the right, and a corniced stack on the east gable. The bothy has kneelers at the skews, a variety of glazing patterns in its sash and case windows, and boarded doors. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and the building has ashlar coped skews and skewputts, along with corniced gablehead stacks.
