Description

Brick House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1760. It is constructed of brick and features a brick storey band, topped with a hipped tiled roof. The building has large integral brick chimneys at each corner, which have ornamental projecting courses and caps. The farmhouse has a square plan and stands two storeys high, with an attic and cellar.

The exterior exhibits a symmetrical design with a five-window range on both the front and back, and a four-window range on the sides. All windows have brick segmental arches, moulded brick integral sills, and tall casements. The central entrance features a framed door frame with a cyma-moulded chamfer and plain boarded doors adorned with nailhead studs on both the front and back. The south front includes stone mullioned cellar window openings with bars and stone jambs. The facade was remodeled in the 19th century to incorporate two 6/6 sash windows flanking a rendered tiled porch, along with various windows that have been bricked-up or rendered and widened with 3-light casements. A multi-pane bow window has been inserted on the west side. The rear of the building is partly covered by a 19th-century two-storey coach-house extension and a single-storey tiled gabled wing.

Inside, the farmhouse features double trenched-purlin roofs with king post trusses and raking struts, all of which are plain-chamfered with ogee stops. The internal trusses include wattle and daub infill panels. An oak dog-leg staircase with a closed string has carved wide balusters and a deep profiled handrail, along with a heavy newel topped with a rounded cap. The interior also contains oak panelled doors with tall recessed vertical panels and moulded borders.
