Brick House

Brick House is an early 18th-century house that has been altered in the 19th century. It is timber framed, mostly plastered, with a facade made of red and blue brick in Flemish bond, and it is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing northeast, featuring a central stack that creates a lobby entrance. There is a single-storey lean-to extension that used to span the entire width of the rear, but part of it has been replaced by a two-storey extension built in the early 20th century behind the left bay. The building is two storeys tall and has a three-window range of mid-19th-century sashes with 12 lights, some of which contain crown glass. The central door is half-glazed and topped with a shallow hood supported by introduced carved brackets.

The brick facade rises to only three-quarters of the current eaves height, with blue flared headers contrasting against the red stretchers. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams with notched stops. The original roof is of gambrel construction, featuring face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates and purlins; however, the front elevation has been raised, and a standard two-pitch roof has been constructed above it. The brick facade shows the original height of the front wall, with plaster above it. In the right upper room, the lower pitch of the gambrel roof intrudes into the space, while in the left upper room, it has been removed. A tunnel was cut through the central stack during a 19th-century alteration to create a through entrance hall.
