Description
Briercot is a former weavers' cottage, now a house, dating from the late 18th century, with a 20th-century addition to the rear. It is built of red brick in English garden wall bond and has a Welsh slate roof with one plastered chimney. The building is two stories high with a three-bay front. The left bay features a two-light window with applied lead glazing in the upper storey. The central entrance has a 20th-century door with planted iron strap hinges. To the right, there is a three-light wooden casement window below and a two-light window above, both with rectangular leaded glazing. The interior retains its original layout, which includes a main room, a small kitchen behind a boxed stairwell, and a bedroom upstairs. Heavy ceiling beams and roof timbers are visible. Briercot is part of a terrace of weavers' houses.
