Description
Brightmony House, dated 1732, is a two-storey, six-bay house with a later two-storey, two-bay addition at the east gable, built in a similar style. There is also a 19th-century single-storey wing at the rear. The south-facing facade features six regular bays with tall, narrow windows that have chamfered margins, and an off-centre entrance adorned with a later corniced and pilastered doorpiece. The east gable has two additional slightly wider bays with similar window styles. The house includes diminutive gable attic windows, crowsteps, cavetto skewputts, and ridge and end corniced stacks, all topped by a slate roof.
There is a single-storey, three-bay freestanding building positioned at right angles to the main house, connected to it at the southwest by a garden wall, which creates a U-plan courtyard. Some evidence of a former matching building remains at the southeast.
Inside, there is little of interest, but the east gable wall is clearly identifiable in the attic, featuring a small attic gable end window and pegged and numbered collars and rafters.
The property is enclosed by harl pointed garden walls that form a square front garden. In the centre of the east wall, there are a pair of corniced rubble gate piers topped with ogee caps and finials, with a similar entrance on the west side of the garden, though it no longer has gate piers. Additionally, there is a small low gabled rubble garden house incorporated into the southwest angle of the garden wall.
