Description
Brown House is a farmhouse with an attached barn, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with later 18th-century windows and an early 19th-century barn addition. The building is constructed from coursed, squared, buff sandstone rubble and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof with two stone chimneys.
The house has a two-storey, three-bay west front. The left end bay contains two-light square-sectioned stone mullion windows, while the central bay has a similar three-light window. The door in the right end bay is concealed by a 20th-century one-storey projection. The attached barn features a central door with a hammer-dressed surround and ventilation slots on either side. At the rear, there is a three-light chamfered rubble mullion window with a hood mould and another three-light square-sectioned stone mullion window.
