Description
Higher Bruckland Farmhouse, along with an adjoining outbuilding to the southeast, is a farmhouse dating from around the 16th century. It is constructed from plastered stone rubble and features a thatched roof with gabled ends. The building has two storeys and a long façade with five windows. The windows are three-light casements, and there is a four-light chamfered wooden mullion window in the north gable end. To the left (northwest) is a late 19th-century stone rubble gabled wing, which partly conceals a stone stack at the front. There is also a rebuilt brick stack at the ridge.
Inside, the farmhouse has heavy stopped chamfer ceiling beams, and the fireplace includes chamfered stone jambs and a stopped chamfer timber lintel. Jointed cruck trusses can be seen in the first-floor rooms. The adjoining outbuilding, used as a cider house, is made of stone rubble with dressed quoins and has a half-hipped slate roof. It features ventilation slits in both the front and rear walls and contains a cider press.
