Description

Brigton farmhouse is a 2-storey, 3-bay rectangular-plan building dated 1743. It features a symmetrical front elevation facing southwest, with a central door. At the rear, there is a single storey, early 20th century rectangular addition with a piended roof. The farmhouse is constructed of stone and has a rendered finish. The front windows are 4-pane timber sash and case, while the rear windows have non-traditional glazing. The gabled roof is covered with grey slates and has straight skews and skew putts at the gable ends, with the date 1743 inscribed on the skewputt at the southeast corner. The chimney stacks at the gable ends are corniced and topped with clay cans.

Inside, as observed in 2016, the layout includes rooms on either side of a central timber dog-leg staircase, which features a decorative cast iron balustrade. The interior also has timber panelled doors and fireplaces with decorative surrounds and cast iron inserts.

To the southeast of the farmhouse is the steading, and to the southwest is an altered mill building, both of which have undergone extensive alterations and now have modern roofs. The stone gatepiers located to the southeast of the farmhouse are square in plan and topped with pyramidal caps. The former mill, former steading building, and gatepiers are not included in the listing.
