Park Farmhouse is a Grade II listed property which has origins in the 17th
century with later additions. In time gone by it formed part of the Gayhurst
Estate and stands on the periphery of Gayhurst Park with views towards
Gayhurst Church and Gayhurst House.
This substantial stone farmhouse under a mixture of slate and thatched roof
also provides annex accommodation in addition to a single storey brick
building which formerly was the village reading room. This building now
creates office accommodation and a gymnasium with a wotkshop/machinery store.
The property stands in just under an acre of land.

alternatively it could be used for independent living, ideal for an au pair or
a nanny. From the side external door, a hallway leads to a shower room and
kitchen with a staircase leading to a study area and thereafter to a sitting
room and bedroom. The kitchen has a range of base and high level units with
oak work surfaces and sink whilst providing plumbing and space for a washing
machine and tumble dryer. There is a door from the kitchen to the patio at the

the main residence if required. The study area on the landing is currently
used as a home office with door leading to a decked area at the rear. From the

sitting room accommodation. Adjacent to the annex sitting room is a well
proportioned double bedroom with views over the garden and the Repton - designed
