The Old Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a two-storey building that has been rendered and whitewashed, likely over local rubblestone, and features a thatched roof with three rebuilt square stone stacks. Originally designed with a two-room single depth plan, it has been extended to four rooms.

The north entrance elevation has seven windows, with a mix of small paned timber casements from the mid 20th century and late 20th century plastic windows. The ground floor has four windows, two of which are located in the extension on the right. A central gabled tiled porch, which is a later addition, features a square-headed door. The left gable includes an external stack and a small single-storey wing with a lean-to roof.

The south elevation, facing the garden, mirrors the north with small paned casements on the upper floor, although these are modern double glazed units fitted into old openings. The ground floor has four large multi-paned plastic double glazed units, with French doors at either end.

Inside, the doorway leads into the outer chamber behind the hall stack. The interior retains several features from the early construction, including a stone mural stair, four stone-framed doorways with arched heads and plain chamfers with broach or cushion stops, two fireplaces (both with replaced lintels and ovens), and a wall-niche with chamfered stone jambs, likely a re-used frame from one of the original windows. The beamed ceiling has deep chamfers but has undergone extensive repairs. The great chamber features a principal rafter roof, although the main timbers have been extensively repaired and the remainder of the roof has been replaced. The Victorian additions on the east gable are unadorned.
