Description
Breck Farm House is a house dating from around 1800, with earlier sections at the rear. It is constructed of gault brick and features a shallow pitched hipped roof covered with black glazed pantiles. The building has two storeys and a cellar, with three windows on the front. A moulded brick cap sits atop a shallow brick plinth, and there is a wide moulded brick cornice along the top. The façade is accentuated by clasping brick pilasters, and the windows are sashes with glazing bars arranged in a 3 x 3 pane configuration, complete with stone sills and skewback flat arches. The central entrance has a double-leaved door with margin lights in the upper part, framed by a classical doorcase featuring wide fluted tapering square pilasters and a Roman Doric entablature. The right-hand return wall is rendered, while the left-hand return wall is made of gault brick. There is a staircase outshut at the rear.
Inside, the right-hand room contains a marble fireplace with square pilasters and a semicircular headed iron grate adorned with cartouches, as well as a semicircular roller cinder grate. There is a roll moulded arch at the rear of the central bay leading to the staircase, which is an open string dogleg design with winders. It has a wreathed mahogany rail supported by a bobbin turned newel and square sectioned wood balusters. The cellar features some flint footings and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
At the rear, there is a double-width wing that is two storeys high, topped with an asymmetrical roof. The south-west side has pantiles, while the north-east side has black glazed pantiles. The north-east façade continues the right-hand return of the house and is rendered in a brick colourwash with scoring, featuring one door and five casements, mostly with two lights, some of which are leaded and have pintle hinges. The south-west façade is made of pebble-flint with 17th-century brick dressings, and the upper wall is raised in brick with coloured headers. This wing has two cells, a central door, and three-light casements on the ground floor, some with leaded panes and pintle hinges. Inside, the central dividing wall was once external, and large paving tiles are present in the south-west section. The beams have ogee and bar stopped chamfers. Breck Farm House forms a group with a barn and cart shed.
