Description

The Park is a farmhouse constructed from whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate eaves roof and featuring four brick chimneys. It stands two storeys high and has a facade divided into three sections: a main central part flanked by one-bay lower sections on each end. The eaves are flat. Most windows have oak lintels and consist of 16-pane sash designs. The left section includes a sash window above a pair of casement windows and a plank door framed with a 17th-century Tudor-arched oak head, both supported by heavy oak lintels. There is a roughcast stack at the left end. The main range has brick chimneys at both ends, with two sashes on each floor that are not precisely aligned, and a half-glazed door to the right within an added gabled porch supported by posts. The right section features a sash window on each floor and a brick chimney at the right end.

At the rear, the left section has a long 19th-century pair of casement windows on the first floor. The main range's rear includes a small pair of casement windows on the first floor to the left, set within the oak frame of a 17th-century mullion window, and a recess to the right that may have once held a three-light oak mullion window. Attached to the right is a lower northwest rear wing, which has a very long stair window facing east and an outshut to the west. The west side features an outshut made of rubble stone with a door to the left and a blocked door in the center. The main wall to the right has a first-floor stair-light casement window above a lean-to infill porch, which has a 20th-century door and a triple casement window, situated between the outshut and the rear of the lower end section. This section has a small pair of casement windows on the first floor to the left, supported by a heavy oak lintel, and a windowless roughcast end wall with a hipped projection for a bread oven.

Entering through the lower end door leads into a lobby beside the massive end chimney of the main part. The lower end to the left features a high ceiling supported by three chamfered beams and a massive chamfered lintel above a deep fireplace in the end wall. A bread oven is located to the left. The main room contains two chamfered beams with ogee stops, one of which is on a timber-framed partition wall leading to the next room that has 19th-century details and a boxed beam. The porch lobby leads to the upper end room, which also has a boxed beam. The rear wing features an oak staircase that winds around a square masonry pier, leading up to the attic. The roof is supported by heavy collar trusses, with steep collar trusses also present in the rear wing.
