Description

Cwm-Bromley Farmhouse is a timber-framed building that was originally constructed with wattle and daub infill but is now finished with whitewashed brick and render. Some of the framing on the ground floor has been replaced with brick. The farmhouse has a slate roof featuring paired brick axial stacks and stands two storeys tall with attics. It has a lobby entry plan consisting of three bays, a storeyed porch, and a corresponding rear stair tower. There is also a two-bay, two-storey wing on the eastern end, which appears to be contemporary with the main structure. The framing is mainly close studding, with some square panelling above the mid-wall bressumer on the southern side. Each storey of the cross wing is separated by a mid-wall bressumer.

At the rear, there is a 20th-century rendered and colourwashed wing that steps down in height. The original jettied porch has been underbuilt, but above it, there is an inscription under a modern pent roof on original carved scroll brackets that reads: "HIS:HOUSE:WAS:BVILT:A/T:THE:CHARGES:OF:RICHARD:/ WHITTINGHAM:GENTLEMAN:/ ANNO:DOM1633". The current entrance features a boarded stable door located in an attached single-storey lobby that provides access to the wing.

The original central stack has been removed and replaced by two 19th-century brick stacks. Inside, there are parallel chamfered spine beams with ogee stops in the main range. The porch front bressumer, which was originally jettied, is supported by moulded side jetty plates, one of which remains. The principal southern window on the first floor has cut brackets. The stair tower contains the original generous oak stair, which features pierced shaped splat balusters and a moulded handrail. Below the stair, there is a carved arch with a dropped centre and a lozenge carved with leaf motifs, as well as a centre lozenge inscribed with "8EH5", though the last numeral is uncertain. The stair, which seems to have been rebuilt, extends to the attic floor level where one surviving square acorn finial can be found.

Additionally, there is a cellar with a drained flagged floor, and the steps leading down are made with malting kiln tiles.
