Description
Bramdean House is a small country house built around 1740, with extensions added around 1820 and a remodel in about 1900. The house features a blue brick front with red brick dressings and an old plain tile roof. It has a central block that is five bays wide and two stories tall, with an attic on a raised basement. To the left, there are two similar bays that are slightly set back, and to the right, there is a three-bay, one-and-a-half-story wing on a basement, added in the early 19th century. A service wing was added to the rear of the left bays around 1900.
The front of the house has a central doorway approached by a curving flight of stone steps with wrought iron balustrades from around 1900. The door is a six-panel design with an arched fanlight, sheltered by a heavy, wide curved hood supported by large carved scroll brackets. The original block and left bays feature 18th-century twelve-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars set in rubbed brick arches. There is a first-floor string course and a moulded dentilled cornice, topped with a short parapet and stone coping. The right wing has tall fifteen-pane sash windows with rubbed brick heads at the level of the string course, above which is a tall panelled parapet. The roof of the central block has three flat-roofed dormers with two-light casements and is hipped with lead ridges. There are symmetrical stacks on the central block behind the ridge and a stack on the left end wall.
Inside, the house retains some late 18th-century features but was largely remodeled around 1900, with heavy Jacobean-style panelling in the left ground floor rooms and the right wing converted into a single room.
