Brick Kiln House

Brick Kiln House is a house, formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid 16th century and restored around 1980. It has a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and is two storeys tall with attics. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a pantiled roof that is hipped at the right-hand end and features an axial chimney made of red brick. The house includes casement windows and a gabled entrance porch with a boarded door from around 1980. Inside, there are back-to-back open fireplaces in the hall and parlour, and twin service rooms at the right-hand end that are now joined, each having an arch-headed doorway into the hall. The roof has clasped purlins, and an attic floor was inserted over the parlour chamber in the 17th century, with the former hipped roof converted to a gable for additional headroom. There is evidence throughout the house of diamond-mullioned unglazed windows that originally had sliding shutters.
