Parsonage is a historic farmstead located to the west of Messing, first shown on the 1897-1904 Epoch 2 map. The farm was a large detached site, with a farmhouse and six oubuildings forming a loose courtyard. All the original buildings except the Grade II listed mid C17 Parsonage Farmhouse (LB Number: 1266747) demolished between 1923 and 1972, causing the site to shift in use to residential only. The farmhouse has been modified and extended multiple times, in 1991, 1994 and 2013. A modern garage/stable block was also added to the northern part of the site in 1994. The only historic landscape feature, a gravel pit located to the south of the farmhouse, has been removed completely.
