10.5.76 Parks Farmhouse

II

Probably C15 origins but much altered by the end of the C17. Recently restored.
Rubble. Double Roman tiled roof. Two storeys and attics. Random modern casement
windows. L plan: The oldest part of the house is the mediaeval gabled cross wing at
the east end of the main east-west range; the room to the west is a C17 extension; the
north-east wing is also probably C17.

Rear elevation: large gable of cross wing; later gabled porch; hipped roof to
north-east wing and large stack with off-sets.

Interior: Remains of timber-framed structure include a jowled and chamfered post and
chamfered ties on the first floor. Windbracing in attic/roof space.

R.C.H.M. suggest ground floor ceiling is later re-use of C16 joists which are heavily
chamfered with run-out stops.

Door to north-east wing, on upper floor, has ovolo moulding with stops and adjoining
room has C17 stop-chamfered beam.

Central internal stack with simple ashlar fireplace on first floor by modern stairs.

The farmhouse lies in the centre of a mediaeval deer park.
