Description
Brackenley House is a two-storey house built around 1870, with some 20th-century alterations. The ground floor features rockfaced stone, while the upper floor is finished in ashlar. The house has a slate roof and a central staircase plan, with three bays. The entrance is located in a central projecting bay, which has Tuscan pilasters supporting a porch and a modillioned cornice. The entrance includes 20th-century plank doors and a rectangular fanlight above. On the ground floor, there are two tall windows with plain surrounds and aprons. A string course runs along the upper floor, which has three windows with plain surrounds. The eaves are adorned with a modillioned cornice, and the roof is hipped with a left-of-centre ridge stack. At the rear, there is a taller three-storey block on the right-hand side. The interior is not accessible. Surrounding the house is a garden wall made of rockfaced stone, with vermiculated stone gate piers topped with moulded caps that are inscribed with "BRACKENLEY HOUSE."
