Description

NRHE data transfer: Brick House [NAT]. <1> Brick House (formerly listed as Brick House at Park Green). A house of 16th to 17th century origin but completely refaced in red brick in 1670. Grade II. <2> Brick House, and barn. The house is of two storeys with a cellar; the walls are of brick and the roofs are covered with slate. It is probably of late 16th or early 17th century date, but the walls were re-faced about 1670; the building was shortened at the east end in the 18th or 19th century, and an addition made on the south-west side. On the north front there is a plain projecting band between the storeys, and on the ground floor the openings of the windows have segmental heads, and are of about 1670. Inside the building, three doorways have original moulded frames. The barn, south-west of the house, is of the 17th century, and of four bays; the walls are weather-boarded. <3>
