Description

Brufords is a 17th-century cottage located in Halse, featuring a rendered exterior over rubble and a thatched roof that is half hipped to the left. The building is one and a half storeys tall with irregularly placed windows, including 3- and 4-light mullioned windows and three half dormers. The outer bay on the left projects slightly forward and has a small cross window on the ground floor. The centrally placed 20th-century door is accompanied by a 20th-century porch with a lean-to roof. At the rear, there is an outshut and a large external stack on the right return elevation, topped with a tall brick chimney.
