Brick Kiln Farmhouse

Farmhouse and attached stable. The house dates from the 17th century with early to mid-19th century additions and 20th century alterations; the stable is probably 18th century. The house is timber-framed with wattle and daub infill, refronted in the early to mid-20th century in red brick laid in English bond, with the remaining walls rendered. The 19th century additions are constructed of flint with brick quoins, strings, vertical strips, surrounds and verges. The stable is timber-framed with weatherboard cladding. All roofs are covered in plain tiles, with brick chimneys throughout.

The 17th century house is 1½ storeys with 2 bays and a central chimney. A 19th century single-storey outshut addition extends to the right, and a 2-storey, 2-bay wing stands to the rear left. The stable, attached to the left, has a loft and comprises 2 bays.

On the yard (east) elevation, the house features a 4-panel door in an added porch to the right bay. Windows are small-pane wooden casements: on the ground floor there are 2 casements of 2 lights each (2 to the left bay) set under segmental brick arches; on the 1st floor are casements of 4 lights within weatherboarded gablets. The roof is half-hipped on the right with a central stack. The outshut has a 3-light window with horizontal glazing bars and a chimney against the main house. The stable has a stable door and slatted window on the left in its left bay, a loft door on the right, and a roof hipped at the left end.

On the rear elevation, the 17th century part of the house has 2-light windows on each floor; the 1st floor window is probably 18th century with a leaded casement. There is a small window to the outshut. The 19th century wing has a 6-panel door with the top 2 panels glazed, with a 1-light window to the left (containing late 20th century glass) and a 2-light window above it; a 3-light window stands on each floor to the right. Openings throughout have chamfered jambs and segmental arches, with metal casements featuring diagonal glazing bars. An end stack stands on the right.

The interior of the house features chamfered spine beams, that in the left room having stepped cyma stops. In the same room is a large fireplace with an infilled inglenook and a door to a former stair beside it. On the 1st floor, more of the timber frame is visible, comprising jowelled wall posts arch-braced to the wall plate; roof trusses are masked but purlins and windbraces are exposed. The 19th century addition retains its stair and some fittings.

The stable's timber frame is cruder than that of the house, having unjowelled wall posts, 2 collared queen-post roof trusses, clasped purlins, and pegged rafters. A rear aisle addition covers the original weatherboarding. The interior retains a cobble floor, board wainscote, and a hay rack to the former stalls on the left.
