Description
Parsonage Farmhouse is a house dating from the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th century. It features a timber frame with exposed close-studding and plaster infill, along with painted brick and tile hanging on the returns and rear, topped by a plain tiled roof. The building has a hall house plan, possibly of Wealden origin, and was ceiled over in the 16th century.
It stands two storeys high on a plinth with a continuous jetty. The left bay is separately jettied, supported by a moulded bresummer on dragon posts. The bresummer in the centre and to the right has filletted ovolo moulding at a higher level. The roof is hipped with gablets and features a central stack cluster, along with a stack at the rear right.
On each floor, there are two moulded mullioned windows with smaller mullioned sidelights, all retaining their original mullions, and these are fronted with leaded casements. There is a small central mullioned window on the first floor and a plank and stud door to the centre left. The return elevations are tile hung over a painted brick ground floor, with a lean-to 20th-century conservatory on the right return and a catslide outshot at the rear.
Inside, the farmhouse has a full frame with much chestnut wood, chamfered beams, and chimney bresummers. The close-studded rear wall is exposed within the outshot, and there is a portion of a re-set wave moulded dais beam over the main fireplace.
