Parsonage Farmhouse

This is a house, dating from the late 15th or early 16th century. It is timber-framed and originally plastered, with parts of the timber frame visible on the north front. The roofs are gabled and covered in peg tiles. The main rectangular block is set at right angles to the road and has three gables to the rear; two are single-storey with attics, and one is two-storey. A 20th-century extension of minimal architectural interest is at the east end. The front elevation features heavy arch bracing, 20th-century leaded light casement windows, two angled two-storey bay windows, and a ground-floor 20th-century oriel window. The original four-centred arched doorway remains, with moulded jambs and carved spandrels. On the roofline, slightly off-centre, is the base of a 17th-century chimney stack, the upper sections having been rebuilt. The interior retains a linear plan form, characteristic of a Wealden house, and now includes an inserted floor where the hall previously stood. The parlour at the east end has the original four-centred arched doorway (with moulded jambs and carved spandrels) still in place. A fireplace mantel beam with mouldings is visible on the main stack and likely features reused materials. Remains of a soot-blackened crown-post roof with very deep section braces are visible. A late 18th-century staircase has been reused, featuring Corinthian column newels and thin, twisted balusters.
