Bastle House Attached to Brig Farmhouse

Bastle house attached to Brig farmhouse is a structure now used as a byre and store, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. The upper floor was partly rebuilt, likely in the 18th century, and the openings were altered during the same period. The building features random rubble walls that are 4½ feet thick, with massive quoins and a boulder plinth, and it has a Welsh slate roof. The dimensions are 33 feet by 23 feet, and it stands two storeys tall.

On the ground floor, there is a later door with flat reveals to the right and an original door, 30 inches wide with splayed reveals, in the centre. Directly above this original door, which has been converted into a window, are two later windows on either side. There is also a very small window on the ground floor at the rear and a 20th-century brick outside stair. The roof is gabled and features kneelers.

Inside, the building has old wood lintels above the original ground floor door and all openings on the front of the first floor. Corbels from a former fireplace are visible on the ground floor, along with three square recesses on either side of former fireplaces on the first floor. The roof timbers date from the 18th century and include tie and collar beams.
