Description
Bryans Building is a two-storey house with origins dating back to the 17th century. It features red brick elevations and a steeply pitched slated gabled roof. A small central brick chimney stack is complemented by another small stack at the northeast corner. The building has undergone significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The front (northeast) elevation has four evenly spaced single-light timber casement windows with iron opening leaded lights and pintle hinges on the first floor. The ground floor includes a large modern five-light window with an exposed lintel on the left side, a modern glazed door to the right, and an additional timber casement window at the far right. A porthole window is located in a lean-to at the left end. The south elevation features two nine-paned sash windows on the first floor, one hornless and offset to the left, with two sixteen-paned sashes below. A corbelled chimney stack is positioned at the first-floor level towards the right end, capped off at the eaves with a modern doorway beneath, flanked by three modern timber casement windows.
The northwest gable elevation has a central splayed late Victorian porch with decorative bargeboard and finial, above which is a nine-paned hornless sash window with an exposed sash box. There are a series of projecting brick ledges high on the gable, likely originally for pigeon holes, now blocked. A high-set iron square-leaded lancet casement window is present in the attic. The southeast gable has similar projecting brick ledges and a lancet window, along with a small single-storey slated 19th-century lean-to that has a small brick stack beneath.
To the southeast of Bryans Building, there are small red brick boundary walls, approximately three metres high, likely from the 18th century, enclosing the rear garden. To the northwest, a coursed rubblestone wall encloses the kitchen garden, possibly part of the 17th century. At the south end, adjacent to Bryans Building, there is a four-centred doorway with voussoirs and sides made of limestone blocks, featuring a plain timber boarded door, with a keystone inscribed 1852.
The building has been largely modernised. The lean-to at the southeast end provides access to a steep, straight-flight stair leading to the "onion loft," which includes timber drying racks. At the northwest end, the original 17th-century attic stair remains, featuring heavy turned oak balusters.
