Description

Bramley Croft is a cottage dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed from plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks topped by 19th-century brick, and features a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan facing southeast, with a central stair plan and end stacks. It is two storeys high and has an irregular three-window front, which includes 20th-century casements, most of which lack glazing bars. The doorway to the right of the center now contains a 20th-century door. The right (northeast) stack is made of exposed rubble and projects from the end, while the gables at each end are weatherboarded.

The interior has been largely modernized in the 20th century, but some original features remain, including two fireplaces that are partially hidden. The right room features a chamfered beam with run-out stops, and the original roof is intact, supported by A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars and X-apexes.
