Description

Old Parsonage House dates to 1717, with a later addition in 1904. The original south-east portion is fronted with stucco and has a tiled roof that slopes to ground-floor level at the rear. A stringcourse runs along the facade. The front features two casement windows and the space for a third. Above the windows, the initials "D.E." and the date "1717" are carved into the stucco. A two-bay extension was added to the north-west in 1904 and bears this date.
