Description
Brown's Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1759, as indicated by a datestone that reads "Robt. and Alice/Brown 1759." It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with black headers and has a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys with an attic.
The entrance front features a lower portion to the left with three bays, including a central lugged, moulded door surround that contains a six-panel door, where the lower four panels are raised and fielded, and the upper two are glazed. The leftmost window consists of three 19th-century lights with a cambered head and wooden sill, while to the right is a mezzanine window with two lights and a cambered head. Adjacent to this is a projecting gabled wing that has two-light ground and first-floor cambered-headed windows, separated by a band of two bricks in depth. The gable features stone springers and stone coping, with another band of two bricks in depth dividing the first floor from the gable.
Chimney stacks are located above the left-hand gable and to the right of the centre. The left-hand gable end has bands of two bricks in depth separating the floors, along with a similar band in the middle of the gable. There are also a pair of 19th-century French windows on the ground floor to the left, two two-light cambered-headed windows on the first floor, and two blocked square openings in the gable.
At the rear, a 20th-century glazed outshut masks a three-light cambered-headed window on the ground floor, with a similar window above it. To the right of this is a blocked three-light cambered-headed window with a flat-arched head. The left gable has two-light cambered-headed windows on both the ground and first floors, with brick bands dividing the floors. There is also a two-light window in the gable, which features stone springers and a coping.
Inside, the ground and first floors have doors with H and butterfly hinges. The ground floor includes chamfered ceiling beams and an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressumer.
