Braidwood

Braidwood is an earlier 19th century farmhouse that stands two storeys high with an attic and features a three-bay rectangular plan. It has single-storey, single-bay wings with piended roofs. The building is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone with polished dressings on the southeast side, while the rest is made of rubble. It includes a base course and an eaves course, with raised margins on the southeast elevation. The remainder of the building has long and short dressings, long and short rusticated quoins on the southeast, and droved quoins elsewhere.

The southeast elevation is nearly symmetrical, featuring an architraved doorway at the center of the ground floor. This doorway has a recessed panelled timber door topped by a decorative multi-pane fanlight. To the right, there is a later 19th century canted window, and a window in the left bay. The first floor has regular fenestration, while the attic has piended slated dormer windows in the left and right bays, and a single window in each flanking wing.

The northeast elevation is asymmetrical, with a wing off-center to the left on the ground floor and a window to the left on the first floor. The northwest elevation is also asymmetrical and roughly three bays wide. It features a stair window in the center with a relieving arch, a small single-pane window below it, and is flanked by a four-pane window to the right and an eight-pane window to the left on the ground floor. There are additional windows in the outer left and right bays of the ground floor, and in the left and right bays of the first floor. A recessed wing is located to the outer left, while the outer right wing has been extended, featuring an opening to the right and a sliding boarded timber door with a diamond-glazed panel.

The southwest elevation is asymmetrical as well, with a wing off-center to the right on the ground floor and a replacement window in the center. There is an extension to the left that includes a timber door.

The farmhouse predominantly features four-pane and twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with a lead ridge, stone skews, and coped tooled sandstone gablehead stacks with circular cans. It also has cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1998.

The property includes gates, gatepiers, and boundary walls made of tooled, coursed sandstone gatepiers on the northeast side, topped with spherical ball finials and a decorative cast iron gate. A coursed sandstone wall with flat coping flanks the gatepiers, while a rubble wall with semicircular coping extends to the southeast.
