Description
Bramble Cottage is an early 18th-century farmhouse that underwent alterations in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with dressed quoins and has a roughcast front. The roofs are covered with sandstone flags, and there are ashlar stacks. The building has an L-plan layout and features a two-storey, three-bay front. The central door, added in the 20th century, has a three-pane overlight, while the flanking windows are 12-pane sashes with projecting sills. The first floor has a blank central bay and 16-pane sashes with projecting sills. The right side of the cottage has three fixed windows with four panes each. At the rear, there is a gabled wing that includes two 12-pane horizontal sliding sashes and a 19th-century boarded door. The roof has overhanging eaves, coped gables with shaped kneelers, and corniced end chimneys. There are detached farm buildings to the rear and attached farm buildings to the left, but these are not of special interest.
