Description
Bramble Cottage is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 18th century, and possibly older. It features painted granite rubble walls with some cob. The roof is steep, covered with bitumen grouted scantle slate, and has a brick chimney on the gable end facing the road to the southeast, as well as an external rubble stack where the chimney has been removed at the other gable end. The layout consists of two rooms with a through passage between them, likely a hall on the left with a stair turret behind, and a parlour on the right, which is built over a lower ground level and possibly originally had a pantry behind it. The building is two storeys high. The southwest front is mostly obscured by South Hill Cottage to the right. Originally, it had a nearly symmetrical front with two or three windows, but now has ground and first floor windows on the left. The rear of the cottage remains largely unaltered, featuring small window openings. The interior has not been inspected.
