Description
Brimmicroft Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1710 on the lintel, although it is likely older, with a porch added at that date. The building has been recently renovated and is primarily constructed of sandstone random rubble with quoins and a stone slate roof. It features a three-bay baffle-entry plan with an added porch aligned with the ridge chimney at the junction of the first and second bays, as well as an added rear outshut to the left end.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a wide two-storey gabled porch made of squared sandstone. The porch has a doorway offset to the right, which is surrounded by a moulded frame and topped with a shaped lintel inscribed with "H ; T E 17 10". All windows now have concrete surrounds and mullions that mimic 17th-century double-chamfered windows. The first floor of the porch has three lights, while the ground floor has three sets of three lights and two sets of two lights above. The left gable features three and four lights at the ground floor and one set of three lights above, while the right gable has four lights at the ground floor and three lights above. At the rear, there are two sets of three lights at the ground floor and one set of two lights above.
Inside, the housepart in the middle bay is believed to contain an inglenook with a shouldered stone heck and a stop-chamfered bressummer, along with a two-light firewindow (now internal) and two large longitudinal beams.
