Description
Brise's Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century that has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with curved braces and herringbone brick infill, sitting on a plinth made of large squared rubble stone blocks that have been patched with brick. The roof is covered with old tiles and has a central chimney made of thin brick, along with a later brick chimney on the right side.
The house has two storeys and an attic, divided into four bays. There are small two-light wood mullion windows that are now blocked in the third bay and on the ground floor of the right-hand bay. Other windows have been altered; the first floor has three-light leaded casements, and there is a small four-light window to the right of the third bay above the door. On the ground floor to the left, there are two paired wooden casements and a 19th-century barred sash window. A paired leaded casement is located in a gabled dormer to the right of the centre.
The entrance features a six-panelled door set in an early 19th-century wooden doorcase with panelled reveals, Doric pilasters, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice hood. At the rear, there is a three-light moulded mullion window. Inside, the first floor includes a moulded stone fireplace with a four-centred arch.
