For Sale
"An attractive farmhouse on the edge of an eternally popular estuary village, surrounded by its own secluded gardens and with two characterful letting cottages. "
The Property
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. On entering via the two-centred 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. This with the advantages of modern day living that the spacious layout from the three reception rooms, well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room and six upstairs bedrooms offer. The current hall and study/living room have impressive oak floors.
One late 18th-century chimney piece remains, while 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 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.
Bradbridge Barn
Taking its name from its eminent former owner, Bradbridge Barn is tucked away in the well-established grounds.
The airy and light living space of this two bedroom, two ensuite, characterful property is enhanced by its outlook onto a pretty, south-facing courtyard.
The Grounds
The well-maintained grounds have a profusion of mature and healthy shrubs, trees and walled lawned gardens, with a charming herb garden, delightful greenhouse and tree lined walkways which join the different sections of the cleverly designed, relaxing and rewilding landscapes that surround Parsonage Farm.
The private driveway leads to generous parking and a turning circle, with stone walls and granite features recalling the age of the farmstead.
