Description
Braziers Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates back to the 16th century, with northern parts added in the early and later 19th century, and the western bay rebuilt in the 1930s. The structure features a timber frame resting on a red brick sill, with the frame exposed on the south front and east end, complemented by flint panels in brick nogging on the south side. The northern face is made of buff brick, while the northwest parts and western bay are constructed from plum brick. The building has steep old red tile roofs.
This two-storey house consists of three cells and follows an internal chimney plan, with later extensions added to the north along a new rear passage. Inside, the farmhouse showcases exposed framing with jowled posts, widely spaced studs, straight braces connecting to tie-beams and the wallplate, and curved wind braces supporting a single purlin on each slope. The roof structure includes collar and queen-strut trusses. The south wall reveals two bays of timber frame with corbelled eaves courses, alongside the plum brick northern section. The windows are small paned casements, with three on the first floor, and there is a large hipped roofed square bay window on the western part. A gabled porch made of brick and flint is located on the north side at the eastern corner. The original layout likely featured a two-storey, two-bay house with a chimney at the western end.
