Description

Bracken Hall Farmhouse and the attached barn are located on Baildon Glen Road. The farmhouse dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century and retains some earlier timber framing, while the barn was built in the mid-18th century. The structure is made of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall and was originally designed with a two-cell plan featuring a baffle-entry, but it has since been altered to a single-cell layout, with part of the second cell demolished to create garages. There are two bays of windows on each floor, featuring double-chamfered surrounds, although they lack mullions. The windows were formerly arranged as three-light and five-light configurations, with two three-light windows on the upper floor. The doorway on the right has monolithic jambs and a semicircular-arched lintel with sunken spandrels, a keystone, and impost blocks. The gable stacks have cyma-moulded cornices, and the right-hand return wall shows remnants of timber framing, including an exposed tie-beam and post.

Inside, the farmhouse features scarf-jointed spine beams, which suggest that a bressumer once existed. When the large segmental-arched fireplace was added at the opposite end, a panelled wall (now removed) created a small room that was lit by the former fire-window. This wall is noted to have had the inscription "I M1701."

The barn, which is positioned at a right angle to the house, has a single aisle to the left of a tall cart-entry that features a monolithic lintel and double tie-stone jambs. The barn's interior consists of three bays with king-post trusses.
