Brampford House And Flanking Brick Walls

Brampford House is a moderately large house from the early 19th century, located in Brampford Speke. The exterior is stuccoed with incised joint lining and features a slate hipped roof behind a plain parapet and a simply moulded cornice around all sides. The house is double depth and has two storeys, with a small single-storey extension added to the right end in the 20th century.

The front facade has three bays, with pilaster quoins that feature an incised key motif. There is a central portico with a moulded canopy supported by two Ionic columns and two plain pilasters, all of which have later glazed infill. On either side of the portico are 20-pane sash windows, with three 16-pane sashes above, all framed with moulded architraves. The sashes are original. There is one chimney at each end, set back from the front.

The left-hand elevation has four bays and eight windows, two of which are blocked, all with incised surrounds. The right-hand elevation is irregularly fenestrated, indicating offices and service rooms. Inside, the house remains largely intact, featuring plaster cornices with acanthus and anthemion motifs in the main rooms, hall, and stairwell, while the rest of the areas are plain. The staircase is simple, with a plain rail and balusters, and there is a marble chimneypiece in the principal rooms. The left-hand room has been enhanced with a large rear archway. The house is complemented by flanking brick quadrant walls.
