Park Lodge Farmhouse

Park Lodge Farmhouse is a Grade II listed house constructed from local random rubble sandstone, which is completely painted over, and features Welsh slate roofs along with stone and brick stacks. The building consists of two sections that are stepped down the hill from west to east and have different rooflines.

The western section is the older part of the house. It has two replacement windows and a door on the ground floor, along with three replacement windows above. The roof is steeply pitched, featuring a rubble stack on the ridge at the left center and a later brick stack on the right gable. The rear elevation includes two small upper windows above an outshut.

The eastern section has two replacement casement windows under oak lintels on the ground floor, with a modern porch and door to the right. This section is built of rubble and has a slated canopy with boarded cheeks. Above, there are two additional casement windows. The roof is also fairly steeply pitched, and the red brick stack on the left gable was likely added when this section was converted for domestic use. Most of the windows in both sections are plastic double-glazed units. The rear elevation of the eastern section features a lean-to outshut that covers the wall up to the eaves, except for a small part of the east end which has a small window. The east gable connects to the Barn and Cowshed.

Inside the western section, there is a direct entry hall with a fireplace and a firestair leading to the upper room, which has a principal rafter roof. The unheated inner room was likely once used as a dairy. Significant alterations have been made to this section. The eastern section now serves as the farm kitchen on the ground floor, but it may have originally been a larger dairy for the farmstead. There is a chamfered beam with lamb's tongue stops, which likely dates to the 17th century, although it may be reused. The upper floor, which was probably a bedroom from the beginning, features a light scantling principal rafter roof with two tiers of purlins.
