The Parsonage (formerly St Michael's Parsonage)

The Parsonage, formerly known as St Michael's Parsonage, is a guest house built in 1878 by William Butterfield. Originally a grace-and-favour parsonage for St. Michael’s Home, it features Mendip rubble stone with Bath-stone ashlar dressing and applied timber framing, all under a tile roof.

The building has an L-shaped plan oriented on a north-to-south axis and consists of two storeys. The garden elevation on the south side has five bays, with a prominent two-storey canted bay in the center, flanked by two additional bays on each side. The first-floor windows are pitched dormers, while one of the ground-floor windows on the right side has been converted into a glass door. All windows on this elevation are single lights with horizontal glazing bars, and bands of ashlar run around the building above and below the ground-floor windows. The main entrance is located on the east elevation, and there is applied timber framing at the tops of the west and east gable ends, matching the style of the lodge. At the rear, there is a single-storey former carthouse and stables. The main house features three chimney stacks with stepped ridge stacks.

An internal inspection was not possible in 2015, but recent images indicate that the timber staircase and many original fireplaces remain, designed similarly to those in the main building.
