Description
Bright's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 18th century and early 19th century, constructed of red brick and rubble stone with stone slate roofs. The building is two storeys tall and has an L-shaped plan with end stacks and ridge stacks on the main range. The brickwork shows evidence of several phases of construction but is unified by early 19th-century two-light stone mullion windows featuring cast-iron small-paned lights, with the upper lights having pointed heads.
The south front displays a Flemish bond brickwork with a four-window range that has a central joint. On the left, there are two two-light windows above a two-light and a three-light window. On the right, there is a single light and a two-light window above a door and another two-light window. The entrance features a six-panel door set in a flush surround with a hood supported by brackets. A downpipe on the building is marked "JAB 1914."
The rear wall has two apparent joints and a two-window range of two-light windows. The west end wall and the west front of the rear wing are made of rubble stone without obvious joints. The end wall includes a single light in the attic and a two-light window on the ground floor, while the wing has two-light and three-light windows on each floor along with a central door. The north-west quoins are brick, the north wall is rubble, and the rear wall of the wing is brick in garden-wall bond, featuring two two-light windows above and two doors and two two-light windows on the ground floor, alternating. The ground floor is finished in painted brick with a four-arch lean-to. The house is marked on the Andrews and Drury map from 1773.
