Description
Long Bredy House is a detached former stable block, dating to 1706, that was converted into a farmhouse in 1811 by the Michel family. Later, in the 19th century, further stables were added to the right-hand end. The building is constructed of squared and coursed rubble stone walls with dressed stone quoins. The roof is slate-covered with stone gable-copings and scroll kneelers. There is a brick stack on the ridge, to the left of the centre, and another on the right-hand gable. The front has four sashes with vertical glazing-bars, set within dressed stone voussoirs dating to the mid-19th century. A bull's-eye window with a flat stone surround is positioned above the front door. The front door, located right of centre, has slightly chamfered jambs and a square lintel bearing the date in sunk relief. The door itself is a 19th-century flush-panel design. According to C. J. Bailey, this describes Long Bredy House.
