Description

Brierly House is a house dating to around 1830, originally built with a brick core and stucco facing, and covered by a Welsh slate roof. The main part of the house is two storeys high with a three-window front. A three-storey service wing is set back to the right. A lean-to porch is built against a single-storey, hipped-roof bay extending to the right, which has a four-pane sash window. To the left of the doorway is a twelve-pane sash window painted black, and above it is a twelve-pane sash window, with a further two windows that are painted black and do not open. The service wing to the right has a hipped roof and sash windows with eight and twelve panes. The front facing the garden has a four-window front with horizontal divisions in the four-pane sashes. All windows are surrounded by moulded architraves. The left-hand bays form a full-height curved bow. Chimneys are located along the main axis of the house. The house connects via a single-storey range to No. 129 Abbey Foregate, and the two buildings were constructed as a pair and are very similar in appearance.
