The Briars

The Briars is an 18th-century house located on the south side of Stubbs Road in Everdon. It is constructed of coursed squared ironstone, with a plain tile roof and brick end and ridge stacks. The house was originally based on a two-unit plan, and now has two storeys and an attic. The front, facing Stubbs Road, has a two-window range, with three-light casement windows to both the ground and first floors, all with timber lintels. The front features quoins, brick eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. An entrance is located within a porch which forms part of a 20th-century single-storey lean-to extension on the right side. A wing to the rear, likely contemporary with the main part of the house, has been significantly altered in the 20th century. Inside, a fireplace is visible, featuring a chamfered bressumer and stop-chamfered spine beam.
