Parsonage Cottage

Parsonage Cottage is a house with origins dating back to the early 18th century, which was extended in the early 19th century and altered in the late 19th century. It is constructed from rubble limestone and features a graduated slate roof.

The building is two storeys high and has a five-window range arranged in a 3:2 configuration, with the right part being lower. There are lean-to additions at the rear. The cottage has large quoins, and the taller section on the left includes a six-panel, part-glazed door set within an ashlar surround. This door is sheltered by a gabled ashlar porch that has a round arch and a stone slate roof. To the right of the porch, there are quoins leading to a single-bay house that has been heightened. The ground floor has 20th-century casements beneath deep stone lintels with arched soffits, and there are two narrow casements offset to create a stair window to the right of the porch. A blocked window with an arched lintel is located at the far right. On the first floor, there are three 2/2 sash windows with projecting sills, one with a wooden lintel and two with stone lintels. The eaves feature a chamfered band, and there are ashlar end stacks with cornices; the right end stack has ashlar pots.

The lower part on the right has two windows on each floor, all in dressed stone surrounds with projecting sills and deep lintels featuring arched soffits. The casements have glazing bars, and the lower-right window includes a 30-pane iron casement with a 4-pane opener. There is a dressed stone surround to the doorway on the right. The roof has a hipped right end with rolled-lead ridges and a corniced ashlar ridge stack.

At the rear, various windows include a 24-pane iron casement. Inside, the ground-floor left room of the lower part features a cast-iron grate in a dressed stone surround, and there is a stone-flagged entrance hall.
