Description

Brick-House Farmhouse is a late 17th-century, two-storey farmhouse constructed of brick and stone, with alterations from the 19th century. It features medium-pitched slate roofs with plain eaves and 19th-century end chimneys. The building has a loddy-entry plan with a central brick stack and an asymmetrical facade, which is now pebble-dashed and has 19th-century windows. The entrance is off-set and has a plain stucco surround that slightly projects, leading to a four-panelled door with glazed upper panels. There are nine-pane recessed sash windows on the left and right sides, and six-pane windows on the first floor, including an off-set four-pane window in the center, all with narrow stone cills. A plain string-course runs along the facade.

Inside, the ground floor room to the left, which was the former hall, has a beamed ceiling with a main beam that is chamfered and plain-stopped. An inglenook bressumer is present but obscured by wallpaper. The corresponding first-floor room features a similar fireplace with a carved, arcaded bressumer dated 1673. It is said that reeded ceilings exist beneath the plaster. There is a cellar with worn-stepped access, which is now blocked.

To the right, there is a stepped-down, adjoining early 19th-century stable range made of painted brick, featuring a slate roof with a steeper pitch. The stable has a door and simple cambered-headed windows on either side, along with two further irregularly-placed six-pane sash windows on the first floor. A modern wooden garage door is located to the right. The farmhouse has catslide outshuts at the rear, along with other 20th-century additions to the back of both the farmhouse and the stable range. The stable block includes external first-floor access at the rear.
