Brickwall Farmhouse

Brickwall Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into two houses. It was built in two stages. The left section dates from around 1530 to 1550 and consists of three bays and two storeys. The right section is a parlour cross-wing from around 1600, also two storeys with attics. The building is timber-framed with plaster infill panels between the exposed framing. Both parts of the farmhouse project out towards the road, and the cross-wing also jetties at the attic floor level.

The earlier section features close-studding with one exposed tension brace. The joist-ends are supported by braces at intervals, and the girth beneath is moulded. The cross-wing has wider-spaced studwork with tension and arch studbracing that was originally covered by plaster. The fascia bressumer at the first floor level displays a well-carved trailing leaf pattern. The oversailing tiebeam is also intricately carved, with pendant finials at the centre and both ends, featuring shallow depressed four-centred arched brackets that are also carved.

The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and there is an axial chimney with a shaft rebuilt in 19th-century gault brick. To the left, there is a 19th-century gable chimney made of red brick. The windows are early or mid-20th century casements, and the four main windows in the parlour wing are flanked by original blocked side-lights from around 1600, which have ovolo-mullions. There is a mid-19th-century gabled porch at the lobby entrance, featuring cusped and pierced bargeboards and a pointed boarded and battened door. The interior has not been examined.
