Description
Brackendene, built in the third quarter of the 19th century, is an unusual Victorian house that has been divided into three residences. The building features polychrome brick with decorative moulded brick and stone dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The south range includes a corbelled patterned frieze and a first-floor string course. It has a low-pitched hipped roof with large stellar chimneys that are corniced in several planes. The structure is two storeys high with four bays, and the upper windows are recessed in roll moulded frames with stone keys, featuring Tudor arched lights with inner stone frames. The garden front has canted bays below, while the entrance front is irregular with five bays and a Tudor-arched doorway. The walls are banded in red and grey brick.
There is a narrow link to the North tower, which is three storeys tall and has three narrow bays, displaying more Queen Anne style characteristics. This section features an eaves corbel table and parapet, with grey walls divided by red pilasters. It includes some tall segment-headed windows and roundels in otherwise blank bays, along with tall arcaded chimney stacks.
