Description
Stepping into Parsonage Farm you are transported back to when manor houses were smaller but just as impressive as the great estate mansions that followed the medieval hall houses. Known for their central great halls, surrounded by other living and service rooms, the great halls would have been the centre of life, where the household slept, ate and entertained.
As a typical medieval hall house Parsonage Farm has been sympathetically renovated, using traditional materials and methods. On entering via the two-centered rear 14th century arch doorway displaying sections of ovolo mouldings, old panelled door and lustrous Purbeck flagstone floors an atmosphere of old stone and rich wood unfolds with the advantages of modern day living that the spacious layout from the 3 reception rooms, well equipped kitchen/breakfast room and 6 upstairs bedrooms offer. The current hall and study/living room have an impressive oak floors.
One late 18th century chimney piece remains and in the rear porch/utility room an ancient trough makes an attractive feature next to the original well. The kitchen breakfast room overlooks the walled front garden, ideal for morning sunshine.
The roof which has the Listing, features a crown-post on an arched braced collar roof truss and curved wind braces, with a jointed cruck truss at right angles, the extensive renovation work can be appreciated via a walkway and lighting in the roof.

The Cottage

The reverse level, two bedroom accommodation has been meticulously converted into a comfortable two bedroom, open plan home with high exposed roof beams and a bespoke kitchen. Original hand cut tracery is still visible in the stone framework of the chamber block mullion window.
