Description

Brynwell Farm is a two-storey farmhouse with an attached range of agricultural buildings, constructed from local stone and rendered, featuring a slate roof and chimneys at both ends and the center. The walls are battered to the north and south. The main entrance faces approximately south, with the upper floor having four modern casement windows. On the ground floor, the entrance is located in the second bay and features a 20th-century porch; the left window was previously a doorway, and all windows have modern casement glazing. To the right, there is a stone lean-to with a slate roof. At the rear, a continuous lean-to has a brick chimney and a curved angle to the west. Above this lean-to, there is a cusped lancet window in the main house.

The attached agricultural buildings are made of stone, partly limewashed and rendered. To the left of the house is a barn at a lower level, and at right angles, there is a cowhouse with dilapidated pig-sties at the southern end, along with a curving wall to the yard. The barn has a slate roof, while the cowhouse is divided into two sections, with a slate and corrugated roof on the right and a corrugated and clay tile roof on the left, featuring cambered-headed openings. A roughly built shed in the angle between the barn and cowhouse obscures the elevations, with another shed located in the rear angle between these buildings.

Inside, there is an entry into a stair hall with a 19th-century staircase. The stair hall is partitioned off, possibly from the 19th century, from the west chamber, which has a boxed-in beam and a blocked fireplace flanked by recesses approximately 90 centimeters deep. There is a doorway through a masonry partition into the east chamber, which also has a boxed beam and a blocked fireplace with a 19th-century grate. The rear outshut features a flagged floor and stone shelves. At the top of the stairs, there is a shallow recess, possibly a blocked lateral fireplace. The roof has a central truss with a morticed cambered collar, which is plain chamfered with broach stops; the eastern truss is similar but lacks a collar. Some old purlins are retained. The barn includes a threshing floor and A-frame bolted roof trusses, while the cowhouse has kingpost roof trusses with raking struts.
