Parsonage Farmhouse

Parsonage Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the late Medieval period, with alterations made around 1600 and further rebuilding and extension in the early 19th century. The walls are made of roughly-coursed squared sandstone rubble, topped with 20th-century clay tiles on the roof and featuring red brick stacks. The building likely started as a single-storey, single-room dwelling with an open hearth, where smoke escaped through a vent in the right-hand gable. An upper floor and the right-hand gable stack were added around 1600, and the house was extended to the left and raised to two storeys in the early 19th century. There is also a single-storey addition on the right-hand end, which is from the 19th century.

Access to the house is through a 20th-century porch located to the right of the center of the front. Above this porch are three windows that do not align with the ground floor openings. The ground floor features casement windows with glazing bars set under oak lintels. There are two gable stacks, and inside the right-hand gable, a ventilator is present, with first-floor framing from around 1600 still intact.

Inside, a cross-beam near the left-hand end has an ovolo-moulded chamfer on the left side, likely indicating a cross passage. The area between this beam and the stack is divided into four square compartments. The broad chamfers on the beams vary: one compartment has simple chamfers, two compartments feature horta wove moulding worked on the chamfer, and one compartment has an ovolo and ogee profile. Additionally, there is a monolithic geometric window with two cusped lights and a quatrefoil with diagonal cross bars within a circle at the head, which is a fine example of work from around 1300 or soon after that has been reused.
