Description
Brecon Hill is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features painted stucco walls with painted V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has coped gables and kneelers, with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and six bays. The entrance includes a 20th-century door framed by an eared bolection-moulded architrave, topped with a cornice supported by console brackets and a swan-neck pediment. The ground floor has single-pane sash windows in original painted chamfered surrounds, with moulded cornices. There are smaller fire windows on both floors to the extreme left. The upper floor features chamfered-surround windows, including one above the entrance with an eared architrave. The outbuildings are not of interest.
