Briery Hill

Briery Hill is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century. It features rendered brickwork over a brick plinth, with brick sides and a tiled roof. The house is designed in an L-shape and has two and a half storeys, with a three-window wide facade.

The entrance includes a six-panel front door, with the top panels fielded and the bottom panels flush, topped by a semi-circular fanlight. This door is accessed by six stone steps leading up from a stone landing. A flat projecting porch supported by two Adam Doric columns and pilasters features a moulded frieze. On either side of the porch are four-pane wide sash windows, with a second window on the right above two segmental-headed openings that lead to the cellar.

A plain string course runs along the first floor, which has three similar windows. The house is adorned with a coved cornice, two hipped dormers, moulded eaves, and two-light casements. The roof is hipped on the left side for the rear wing and gabled on the right, with a brick chimney projecting from the ridge.

Inside, the staircase features square newels with beaded arrises, turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and a string, with a panelled spandrel below. Additional rooms have been added to the rear, partly filling the angle of the L-shape.
