Parsonage Farm House

Parsonage Farm House is a house, now divided into five dwellings, dating from the 17th century with extensions in the 18th century and alterations in the 20th. It is constructed of timber frame, with later brick additions, and has whitewashed and roughcast elevations. The tiled roof is hipped, with dormers. The house was originally likely a three by two bay L-shaped building, extended with a second cross wing and an 18th-century front range.

The two-storey, five-bay front projects forward with a central entrance within a pedimented doorcase, featuring panelled pilasters, brackets, and a semi-circular traceried fanlight. The ground floor has a plinth and slightly canted outer bays with segmental headed sashes, rising full height in the centre. The first floor features segmental headed sashes with key blocks, the central one being larger and flanked by pilaster strips with moulded caps, with similar pilaster strips at the ends. Oversailing brick courses are visible at the eaves. There are four hipped dormers, and end stacks. The two-bay left return has a sash window and casements, with a plat band. The right return features a lean-to and an entrance leading to an earlier rear range that extends further to both ends. Scattered sash and casement windows are present throughout. A gable end entrance is on the right return.

The rear of the house has an external stack with offsets. The gable of the original cross wing, which extended into the later 18th-century front range, is visible on the left side, with exposed plates and purlins. To the rear right is a lower ridge, brick base, and rendered and roughcast later cross wing with an external end stack and offsets. A further, single-storey brick dairy outshut with a half-hipped roof is attached to the rear. Behind the house is a weatherboarded range.

Inside, a 17th-century three-light ovolo moulded timber mullioned window frame is visible within the original outer wall, to which the 18th-century block was added. Structural features include queen struts to collars clasping purlins, and curved windbraces. A ridge stack, probably originally external, has been rebuilt with corbelled-out triangular projections and a moulded cap.
