Description

Brickwall Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century. The original core of the house is built of red brick on a base of coursed ironstone, with later additions in mottled yellow brick. It has a slate roof. The building follows a double-pile plan, and originally comprised a north block with two storeys and an attic added in the 19th century. A two-storeyed block was added to the south during the 19th century.

The north elevation has been significantly altered and contains a four-window range. It features sash windows with glazing bars, one of which on the ground floor is divided into two smaller panes. Four box dormers are present. A brick band, imitating an earlier 18th-century design, runs above the first-floor windows. A 20th-century part-glazed door is set into the facade, and a brick ridge stack is visible. Integral stacks are located at each gable end.

The south elevation is simpler, with casement windows that also have glazing bars. A canted bay window with a lead canopy hood is situated on the right-hand side. A part-glazed door is set within a moulded surround with a slightly projecting cornice.

This property is included on the heritage list for its group value.
