Brisley Hall

Brisley Hall is a former farmhouse that dates back to the late medieval period, with a primitive block that is complemented by a 17th-century side addition. The building is constructed of brick in English bond and features pantiled roofs. The lower primitive block to the south has been re-roofed with a shallow pitch, which is in conjunction with one bay of the 17th-century block.

The main block stands two storeys high with an attic and has gabled porches on each facade, each with attic rooms flanking a central stack. The original porch on the west side includes a 19th-century two-leaf part-glazed front door with a bracketed flat hood above. Above this door is an 18th-century two-light mullion and transom window featuring a metal casement and leaded glazing. The gable has an original two-light ovolo-moulded mullion window with a moulded brick pediment above it and moulded brick gable corbels. There are large 19th-century three-light mullion and transom windows on either side of the porch, each beneath 17th-century moulded brick rectangular hood moulds. To the right of the porch, there is an original four-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the first floor, and to the left, an 18th-century two-light mullion and transom window.

The east facade features a former stair outshut that has been converted into a porch, with a front door similar to that on the west. The windows here are mainly careful replicas of the 18th-century two-light mullion and transom type, reusing the metal casements, iron stay bars, and glass. The ground floor windows mirror those on the west, with 17th-century moulded brick hood moulds and one repositioned 17th-century four-light ovolo-moulded mullion and transom window. Both facades have 18th-century cornices with distinctive dentils. A fine axial stack with five interconnecting angled shafts runs along the building. The primitive block has modern fenestration and a 17th-century brick facing to the flint fabric, with a further addition to the south.

Inside, the building features a set of fine 15th or 16th-century roll-moulded and hollow chamfered joists, along with chamfered beams that have ogee and nicked stops in the main block. The original butt purlin roof remains intact in most of the main block. The site is also moated.
