Brecon House

Brecon House is a semi-detached house with origins in the 16th century, and subsequently modified in the 17th and 19th centuries. The front elevation is rendered and colourwashed, with local stone rubble and a roof of Bridgwater patent interlocking clay tiles. Brick chimney stacks are present, one of which has a stone base. The house is two storeys high, with three bays. It features leaded casement windows, including a three-light casement with iron framed opening lights above, and a 1+3+1 light angled bay window on a stone base with flat lead roofs to bays 1 and 3, the latter incorporating a 2-light window within a stepped chamfered stone surround, under a square label. A five-panel door with a glazed toplight is set in a recess to bay 2. A small, single-storey extension with a gabled plain clay tile roof and a later casement window adjoins the South gable.

The interior contains fragments of two fireplaces; the one in the North room has a cambered arched timber lintel with stone sides, exhibiting moulded hollow and ogee details. There are also fragments of an early framed ceiling with reverse ogee moulded beams, along with fragments of stone and timber cambered arched doorways, and remains of a timber frame in the East (front) wall. The roof structure is of post and truss construction, with one tenon-jointed cruck, the first two bays from the South windbraced and smoke blackened.
