Description
Brick Kiln Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 15th century or early 16th century, with alterations made in the late 16th century and later. It features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan and stands two storeys high. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plain tiled roof. There is an internal end chimney made of red brick from the 17th or 18th century on the left side and a 19th-century axial chimney on the right. The windows are mid-19th century, consisting of small pane casements on the first storey and small-pane sashes below. The front entrance has a mid-19th century six-panelled door located at the cross-entry position, with a stable-type boarded door to the right. Inside, part of an open truss from a medieval open hall can be seen at the ground storey, featuring shafts beneath the lower part of the arch-braces. An inserted floor in the hall has late 16th century chamfered joists. The remainder of the interior has not been examined.
