Description
Parsonage House is a parsonage built around 1860 by William White. It features yellow brick in English bond with polychromic red brick bands and has a tiled roof with end brick stacks. The building is asymmetrical, with the garden front consisting of two storeys and attics, showcasing three windows. The right-hand gable has an attic with a three-light casement, a first floor with a four-light casement, and a glazed porch on the ground floor. To the left, there are two cambered casements and a six-light bay on the ground floor. The entrance front includes a projecting gable with a three-light casement, a smaller set-back gable with a lancet window, and an angled porch. The left side has three casements, one of which is blocked, and there is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension. Inside, the parsonage features a tiled front lobby, ceilings with tie beams supported by arched braces and corbels, and stone fireplaces with wooden surrounds.
