Sweet Briar

Sweet Briar is an early 19th-century house located on Thicket Road in Houghton. The building is designed in an L-plan and features two storeys with an attic, a one-storey and attic back range, and a later single-storey range to the east. It is constructed from local gault brick and has a plain tile mansard roof, which includes two flat-roof dormers that contain horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars. The front of the house has a symmetrical arrangement of three hung sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor. Flanking the central half-glazed door is a late 19th-century porch, which has red tiled roofing, decorated barge-boards, and colour-glass fixed lights on the side walls.
