Description
Brunant is a small country house built in a simplified Tudor Gothic style. It features coursed rubble stone with a slate roof and moulded shouldered gable coping. The house has two and a half storeys, although the floor heights are not easily visible from the entrance front, which has a long blank window on each side with a deep hoodmould. There is a raised plinth at the base of the building.
At the center of the entrance is a sandstone ashlar porch with a shouldered coped gable and a chamfered depressed arch. Inside the porch, there is a stone flagged floor and a two-panel door with a depressed-arched overlight. Above the porch, there is a prominent chimney breast that is set forward, featuring a single chamfered square-headed window with a hoodmould. The chimney breast has a shouldered design at the eaves level, which then chamfers back on each side down to the chimney base, where there is an inset rectangular carved stone panel. The base of the square stone stack is topped with chamfered coping.
The garden front of the house has a broad gabled design with a two-window range and two narrow attic oriels supported by moulded stone triangular corbels, each oriel having a small two-sided slate roof. The first floor features long tripartite casement windows with hoodmoulds, while the ground floor has a canted bay with a hipped slate roof on the left and a tripartite window on the right, both of which have painted mullions and transoms. The bay has a 1-2-1 light arrangement, and the window has three lights. There is also a raised plinth on this side.
The end gable has simpler window designs, all of which have been replaced with 20th-century PVCU. There are three attic windows, with a wide one flanked by two narrow lights, although the wide window is not perfectly central. On the first floor, there are two similar windows to the right and center (the latter slightly right of center), and a larger tripartite window to the left. The ground floor has a tripartite window on the left, a door in an ashlar frame with a slightly gabled lintel and deep hoodmould, and a narrower window on the right. The door is also a 20th-century replacement.
The rear wall of the house features a raised plinth and a massive external chimney breast that is pierced by a long window on the ground floor and a short window on the first floor. There are sloping offsets on each side above the eaves level, and a small window is located on the first floor immediately to the right of the stack. The property has not been inspected.
