Description
Brucefield is a farmhouse built around 1810, featuring wings that return to the north to create a U-shaped courtyard, which is enclosed by a later north range. The south front of the farmhouse is approximately symmetrical, with a two-storey, three-bay structure at the center made of coursed rubble with droved ashlar dressings. It has a central door framed by a moulded architrave and cornice, a slated roof with straight skews, and ashlar end stacks with block cornices.
To the east, there is a single-storey wing that includes a large tripartite window facing south and has a piended slated roof with a small gabled dormer. The taller single-storey wing to the west has a single opening to the south and both wings return to the north, with the west wing being two storeys high and both wings gabled to the north.
The north range is a single-storey structure; the eastern part is mid-19th century, constructed of coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings and chamfered angles at the openings. It has a gabled roof with straight skews and is slated. The western part of the north range is narrower and lower, made of snecked rubble on the south side and random rubble on the north side, also gabled with straight skews. Both parts of this range feature catslide ventilators in the roof.
