Description
Brick House is a red brick house built around 1600, likely by William Bradbury, with an L-shaped plan. Around 1660, a wing similar to the south wing was added at the back. The house has two storeys and attics, with the main front facing north. The north front features two dissimilar gables: one is ogee shaped and the other is plain. There are two ranges of original 8-light mullioned and transomed leaded casements with moulded frames and transoms. Each gable has a 2-light leaded casement. The central doorway, accessed by stone steps with iron railings, has a semi-circular pediment that encloses an ornamental cartouche displaying the coat of arms of the Bradbury family. Above the doorway is a circular niche that holds a stone bust. At the north-east corner of this front, there is a stone figure dressed in Roman attire. The south side has three gables and two gabled dormers, while the west side retains some original leaded casements. The east side features two external chimney stacks. The roofs are tiled. Inside, there are original features, including a staircase dating from around 1660.
