Brick House

Brick House is a 16th-century building, altered in the 18th century. It is a two-storey and attic structure with a symmetrical north front, originally featuring two-storey bay windows on either side of a central, projecting two-storey porch. The western bay window was replaced in the 18th century with a flat wall constructed in Flemish bond brickwork, incorporating camber-headed windows. The roof is tiled in red, with massive, stepped chimney breasts at both ends, forming a rectangular base for diagonal flues. The brick walls are in English bond, with a weathered band at first-floor level and brick mullion hoods above the windows in the west gable. The windows are now wooden casements, replacing the original mullioned design which survives in the eastern bay. The porch roof is hipped at the front, with eaves lower than the main roofline. The square doorway has an old oak frame in a Tudor pattern and stone steps leading to a door that is now situated on the exterior of the porch, although it was originally within. The building has a T-shaped layout, with a substantial rear wing of the same height, terminating in a massive chimney breast carrying three diagonal stacks and irregular window placement. A modern, unobtrusive single-storey garage block extends to the south.
