Description

Brimham House is a house that now serves as a National Trust museum and offices. It was built in 1792 for Lord Grantley. The structure is made of coursed squared gritstone and has a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and five bays, with a rear outshut. The building features quoins and banded rustication on the southeast front. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath a pitched slab hood supported by moulded brackets.

On the ground floor, there are 24-pane side-sliding sash windows set in stone surrounds with keyed arches. The first floor has keyed round-arched openings with 24-pane side-sliding sashes, each topped with a fanlight that includes glazing bars. The building also has shaped kneelers and gable coping. A stack is located at the centre of the rear roof. The rear outshut has 20th-century additions to the northwest.

On the left side, there is a three-sided two-storey bay, which may contain stairs. The right side features a blocked doorway with quoined jambs positioned between the ground and first-floor levels. Originally named The Rocks House, it was occupied by the caretaker of Brimham Rocks.
