Brailes Hill Farmhouse

The property is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century. It is built of regular coursed limestone rubble on the right side, and very finely jointed squared limestone on the left. The roof is steeply pitched slate, with stone coping to the left side. It has moulded stone end and ridge stacks, with the right stack being renewed but retaining a stone base. The layout is L-shaped, and the house has two storeys plus an attic, with a three-window front. A gabled bay faces the front on the right side. The main entrance, off-centre to the right, features a panelled door with two glazed lights and a moulded wooden frame, set within a 20th-century gabled stone arch. To the left of the entrance is a four-light mullioned window with a king mullion, a hood mould, and label stops. Further to the left is a three-light mullioned window, also with a hood mould and label stops. The first floor has two- and three-light stone mullioned windows with hood moulds and label stops. The right part of the building includes a two-light casement window with a fastener and some wrought-iron springs. The right end has three-light casements to both the ground and first floors. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams, chamfered joists, stop-chamfered bressumers and jambs to the inglenook fireplaces, a bread oven, and a 19th-century straight flight staircase with a quarter turn.
