5/38 Park House -
- II
House. Early to mid C16, mid C17 and C18. 2 storeys and attics. Timber-framed and rendered with black glazed pantiled roofs. Extensively modernised in 1960s. A range of 3-light small-paned C20 casement windows to each storey: one 2-light window above the porch: 4 gabled dormers with fluted bargeboards and 2-light casements. A C20 enclosed gabled porch with boarded door. One internal chimney-stack, and another on the south gable end, both with plain rebuilt red brick shafts. 8 bays including a chimney bay. The basic house, C16, consisted of the bay to the south of the internal stack, and the 2, possibly 3, bays to the north of it. In the bays to each side of the stack, both forming complete rooms originally, the ground storey ceilings have heavy unchamfered joists, on the north, the main beam has a multiple roll-moulding. When the fireplace on the south side of the stack was opened up during restoration a fireback was discovered, bearing the Royal Arms and the date 166- (most probably 1660, in celebration of the Restoration). The 2 upper rooms in the central section-of the house have reused roll-moulded joists, cut in half lengthwise and set on edge: one has an incised circular floral motif. The northernmost bay has a plain heavy beam-and- joist ceiling, but the 2 intermediate bays have had the joists replaced at a very late stage. At the south end, 2 C18 bays have been added, with an end chimney-stack: typical late framing, reused timbers, roof with 2 rows of butt purlins. At the rear, 2 matching one-and-a-half storey wings, added in the mid C17, with butt-purlin roofs: below one floor a number of mummified cats were discovered during restoration, and 2 remain in the house. Various original doorways, some blocked, remain, and visible outer parts of the frame are weathered. This is the only surviving house of the lost village of Little Fakenham.
