Brissenden Farmhouse

Brissenden Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, substantially altered around 1666 and extended in the mid to late 20th century. The house is timber framed and largely clad with red brick and tile hanging, with a section of exposed timber framing to the rear filled with red brick. Later extensions use red brick and weatherboarding. The roofs are covered in plain tiles. The house comprises two parallel ranges, with a 20th-century addition forming the front facade. It is two storeys high, with a projecting outshot to the left, a gable to the right, and a hipped dormer at the left end. The front has three wooden casement windows on each floor, and a boarded door within a hipped porch located centrally to the left. A rear range is also two storeys high with an attic, featuring a hipped roof to the right and a half-hipped roof to the left, with projecting brackets supporting the eaves. A central stack cluster is elaborately moulded. A catslide outshot runs along half of the rear elevation, containing a boarded door, with red and blue brick detailing on the ground floor. Internally, part of the timber frame is visible and bears a date of 1666, possibly relating to the stack.
