Swanbrook Farmhouse with adjacent stable

Swanbrook Farmhouse, thought to date from the 17th century, has seen work in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and includes an associated stable.

The farmhouse is timber framed with a brick front and a tile roof, while the stable is constructed of brick with a tile roof. The house has a roughly L-shaped plan, with its main range oriented east-west, and the stable located to the south-west of the house.

The exterior of the house features brick laid in English Garden Wall bond, with casement windows and an off-centre door beneath a modern porch. There is a blocked doorway between the two right bays. The windows and doors are modern, and the eaves course above the brick dentil course has been replaced. A base course of blue lias limestone is present, and there are tall chimneys at each end. At the rear, there is an external stack with a lower stone course, and a lean-to verandah wraps around the back of the property. Modern French doors and two dormer windows are located on either side of the chimney. The cross wing displays exposed timber framing with brick infill in its eastern wall, and some timbers bear carpenters' marks. The gable end of the cross wing is brick, featuring a modern bow window at ground floor and a window under a segmental head above. A lean-to extension with a catslide roof is present on the western side.

Inside, the principal range has a large central room with two large timber beams that are chamfered and stopped. The fireplace includes a bressumer that has been reused from elsewhere. A modern staircase provides access to the upper floor, which retains timber floorboards and exposed timbers throughout. The cross wing also has exposed timbers and a secondary staircase.

The stable to the south-west features three lunette windows and elevations of English Garden Wall bond, with queen closers at the ends of each wall. The central window was originally a door. There are doors at each end with segmental heads and a taking-in door at first-floor level in the south gable end.
