Bristle House

Bristle House is a house from the mid-18th century that has been altered in the 20th century, with possible older origins. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a plain-tile roof and features brick end stacks. The house has a two-unit plan, stands two storeys high with an attic, and has a five-window range. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with a leaded overlight, surrounded by a moulded wood frame, a segmental-arched head, and a straight hood supported by shaped brackets. On either side of the door are canted bay windows, built of timber on a brick base, with the right bay featuring a row of small cellar windows. The bays have 16-pane sash windows at the front and 4-pane sash windows on the sides. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows and a central blank window, all with segmental-arched heads. Additional architectural details include a storey band, corbelled brick eaves, and two gabled roof dormer windows with 2-light leaded windows. Inside, there is a stone cellar and ogee stop-chamfered spine beams.
