Description
Llanerch Brochwell is an ambitious two-storey building with a porch added in 1693, featuring an inscription over the door that reads "T./ S.M 1693 Stephen and Margaret Thomas." The porch has small panels and quatrefoil bracing, while the gable of the parlour showcases decorative timber, including parallel rafters. There is a 20th-century single-storey range attached to the service end of the building.
The main block exhibits square framing that is three panels high, with corner braces at the top plate, and it has been raised by an additional panel. The south wall of the main block, east of the porch, features decorative pargetting created around 1990 by Mrs. P. Cooke. The entrance is asymmetrical to the added porch block, with a wide boarded door from the 20th century in the original opening. The windows are also from the 20th century and are timber with ovolo moulding based on historical evidence.
Inside, the central hall has deep-chamfered cross beams with broach stops and chamfered joists that alternate in direction. There are grooves for sliding shutters over the windows. The main brick stack has been rebuilt, likely replacing a timber stack, with remnants of the original visible in the east end chamber. A timber frame partition leads to the service room, featuring ogee-headed door openings. The first-floor chambers were originally open to the roof, with small cusped windbraces located below the purlin and at wall plate level. The stair handrail is likely from 1693, with turned balusters and a handrail that is out of its original context, but the stair has a plaster soffit decorated with trident and fish motifs in ovals. The chamber above the porch contains painted graffiti from the Lloyd family, dated 1796 and 1826, including a reference to Richard Lloyd, a cartographer. The roof trusses generally feature queen struts to the collar and raking struts to the principal rafters.
