Originally a medieval courtyard hall house, once linked with the church, Parsonage Farm is now an impressive family home where for over 700 years families have slept, eaten and entertained. Parsonage Farm has been sympathetically renovated, using traditional materials and methods.

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
Behind the farmhouse there would once have been an overhead walkway to the medieval courtyard house where a previous owner William Bradbridge, Bishop of Exeter in the reign of Elizabeth I, would have slept. 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.
