Outbuilding Approximately 20 Metres North Of Brimham Lodge

This is an outbuilding located approximately 20 metres north of Brimham Lodge, dating from the late 17th century and built for Thomas Braithwaite. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone rubble with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high with two bays. The building features quoins and on the south side, there is a central stable door set in a chamfered quoined surround, topped by a shallow 4-centred arch with a large lintel. To the far right, there is an 18th-century door, and to the far left, a quoined first-floor door accessed by a straight flight of stone steps. There are recessed-chamfered mullion windows, including a one-light window to the left of the original entrance and a partially blocked three-light window above, which has a 4-pane sash inserted. The building has shaped kneelers, gable copings, and end stacks.

Inside, the ground floor on the left contains a large fireplace with a plain stone surround. The ground-floor room is partitioned, and the room to the right has a blacksmith's hearth with intact bellows. The first floor features two roof trusses, including one original king-post truss and one made from reused timbers. This building was likely a bakehouse, constructed away from the main house due to fire risk, and is often referred to as an 'oven house' in 17th-century records. The upper floor may have served as a bothey or sleeping room for servants. In the 18th or 19th century, the ground floor was divided into a stable and blacksmith's forge, a common arrangement in large farms of that period, while the upper floor is also remembered as the 'schoolroom'.
