Description
Parsonage Farmhouse has a 16th-century origin, with a substantial rebuilding in the late 18th century. The farmhouse now consists of the original 16th-century structure incorporated as a wing to the rear of the later, more formal front block.
The front of the farmhouse is a two-story and attic buff-coloured brick building with flat eaves supported by pairs of cut brackets. It has a steeply pitched old tile roof with gable ends that are tile-hung. The front is symmetrical with five bays, featuring recessed sash windows with intact glazing bars. A central, partly glazed door is sheltered by a slender Doric porch with wall pilasters; the doorway has panelled reveals and a soffit.
The rear wing is a late 16th-century range constructed of stone and flint in a chequer pattern. This wing is one story and attic in height and features three gabled dormers. It contains irregular stone mullioned windows and wood casements, with one window retaining horn glass within some of the leaded panes.
The interior of the original wing retains original roof structure comprised of 5 bays of roof trusses, collars, and 2 pairs of butt purlins, with curved windbraces on the upper purlins.
The farmhouse, along with its associated walls and barn, forms a unified group.
