Description

Brighthill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century and was partly remodeled in 1782. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone with some ashlar dressings and features a concrete plain-tile roof with ashlar gable stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys plus an attic.

The front has three bays to the left of a four-window arrangement, with the left bays being higher and symmetrically arranged. There is a central doorway with a chamfered stone surround and a projecting keyblock, flanked by 2-light casements above and 3-light casements in the outer bays, all featuring ashlar flat arches and projecting keyblocks. The steep-pitched roof has renewed roof dormers and gable parapets that bear stacks with moulded plinths. The lower bay to the right includes 2-light casements and a subsidiary doorway, all with rubble flat arches. At the rear of the higher section, there is a 2-light leaded casement, while the lower bay has an outshut.

A single-storey range that returns to the rear from the left is likely formed from outbuildings. Inside, the spine beams and bressumers of two large back-to-back open fireplaces feature bold ogee chamfer stops. A detached datestone, which was formerly located above the main doorway, is inscribed with "H/ES/1782".
