Description
Bruntingthorpe House is an early 19th-century building located on Main Street in Bruntingthorpe. It is constructed of brick on a stone plinth and features a Welsh slate roof. The house has a double pile plan, is two stories high, and consists of three bays. The central door is framed by a painted surround and has a delicately wrought radial fanlight above it. The outer bays contain 16-light sash windows with fine astragals and flat arched gauged brick heads. A sill band runs along the cornice line of the flat roof and the single-storey left-hand bay, which has a blind window and a doorway. This bay is balanced on the right by a screen wall with a doorway leading to the rear.
To the right of the house is an attached garden wall that extends along the street front. This wall is made of brick, featuring a high plinth and buttresses in the northern range. The street front has piers with pyramidal copings, and there are central gate piers and gates in a lower section. The piers also have pyramidal copings, and the gates are made of wrought iron with spear heads forming two curves.
