Description

Parsonage Farmhouse is a house dated 1685, as indicated by a tablet above the door. It is constructed from slobbered sandstone rubble and features a slate roof. The building may have a possible end-lobby-entry plan, with the right-hand (western) unit having later openings. It has two storeys.

On the ground floor, there is a continuous drip course that ends to the right of the door. To the left of the door, there are two 2-light hollow-chamfered mullioned windows, with the right-hand window previously being a 3-light window. On the first floor, the left-hand window is modern with plain reveals, while to its right is a blocked stair window with a 17th-century surround. Further right is the surround of a former 2-light mullioned window. The door features a chamfered surround with a 4-centred head. The right-hand unit, beyond the stack, has a modern window with plain reveals on the ground floor and a 19th-century plain stone surround on the first floor.

Inside, the door opens against a stone spere that now supports a modern beam. The current fireplace is of 18th-century type, shouldered, and includes a brick-lined bread oven adjacent to it, which has a stone surround at the opening.
