Description
Parsonage Farm House is a cottage that was later enlarged to include an adjoining bank barn over stables and a coach house, now all functioning as a single dwelling. Originally built in the 17th century, it was expanded in the late 19th century, with the entrance relocated and a porch added in the mid-20th century. The building features red sandstone random rubble and steeply pitched West Somerset slate roofs, with a half-hipped east end and catslide roofs over the additions. A large stone stack is located at the junction with the higher, independently roofed 19th-century addition, while a lateral stack is found on the north front, and a tall roughcast stack rises to the right. Battered roughcast stacks are present at the rear of the bank barn.
The layout consists of a two-cell cottage with a lateral stack to the right of the now-blocked entrance on the north front. The cottage has been extended with additions on both the north and south sides, which are set into the hillside. A south porch has been added, and the dwelling is linked by a covered way to a three-bay outbuilding. The house is one and a half storeys high, featuring a 2-light casement window in the gable to the right of the lateral stack, and a catslide roof to the right. On the ground floor, there is a 3-light arched mullioned window in cement, which occupies the site of the original entrance, as well as a similar window in the re-entrant angle of the right extension. A c1500 3-light arched mullion window with remnants of leaf decoration in the spandrels has been restored and reset from another earlier building to the right of the stack, along with an arch-headed light to the right. Access to the property is through the covered way that connects to the two-storey, three-bay bank barn over the coach house and stable, with a double door located at the rear.
