Brackensgill and Attached Barn to East

Brackensgill is a farmhouse with an attached barn, likely dating from the 17th century, and remodeled and enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of white-washed coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. The building has a two-unit plan oriented east-west and faces north. Originally, it was all single-depth, but the second unit has been raised and extended to the rear, with a single-storey lean-to added at the junction. The barn continues to the east.

The exterior features two storeys and two windows, with a shallow porch offset to the left of centre. There is a 16-pane sash window on each floor to the left, and larger similar sashes on each floor to the right. The roof ridge is higher over the second unit, and there are lateral chimneys on the ridge at the junction with the barn on the left and at the right-hand gable, both topped with two pitched stone-slate caps for the flues. The five-bay barn to the left has a square-headed doorway next to the junction, a small sashed window above and to the left of this, a square-headed wagon doorway in the second bay, and a square window to the left of that. The rear of the barn has several small windows, including a narrow stair-window.

Inside, the doorway opens directly into the house part, which features one lateral beam and exposed joists. There is a stone lateral partition to the parlour on the left, although the original doorway to this room is now boarded up. A thick stone partition wall separates the rear rooms, which was originally external. In the kitchen at the back of the house part, there is a relocated carved bread cupboard, possibly taken from the partition to the parlour, with only the top tier and its mantel, dated 1632, currently exposed.
