Parsonage Farmhouse

Parsonage Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from approximately 1725 to 1750. It is constructed primarily of blue vitrified headers with red brick dressings, featuring grooved pointing. The roof is tiled, and the building has two storeys, a cellar, and attics. The farmhouse originally comprised three bays, arranged around a central through stair hall and a narrow service passage running beneath a roof extension. A single-storey kitchen extension, dating from the 20th century, adjoins the right side. The main entrance has a central 6-panelled door protected by a simple, bracketed flat canopy. The front features a tripartite sash window of the late 18th or early 19th century, with 20 panes of glass, set within a segmental headed opening, and red brick quoins. A flush 4-course plat band of red brick runs horizontally across the front, with cogged eaves. The external gable stacks have tumbled offsets and turned flues, positioned axially above the ridge. The gables are in English bond. Two hipped dormers are present on the outer bays. A further wing, probably of the same date, is attached to the rear on the left side. Internally, fielded panelled doors lead to a close string staircase with square newels. The structure includes spine beams with ogee stops, and run-out stops.
