Description
Parsonage Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a late 16th century core, featuring alterations and additions from the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of colourwashed rubble with coped verges and has triple Roman and pantile roofs, along with three brick ridge stacks. The building has an L-shaped frontage that includes a prominent gabled wing on the left side. It stands two storeys high, with blank gable faces and a single bay on each return. The windows are primarily 2-light 19th century casements, except for a 3-light stone mullioned window on the ground floor, which is set beneath a cornice dripmould. There is a blocked door opening with an edge roll moulded stone surround that has an inserted 2-light casement, and a further door opening at the rear with a plank door. To the east, there is a stable wing that now serves as a kitchen; this wing is also two storeys and has a single bay. It features a blocked door opening on the ground floor with a 2-light casement and a keyed semi-circular head opening on the first floor with a cast-iron casement that includes glazing bars. Inside, the farmhouse has a cross-beam ceiling and a broad fireplace set in a dressed stone surround.
