Description

BRIGHOUSE WAKEFIELD ROAD, LIGHTCLIFFE
SE 12 NW (north side)

1/188 Nos. 113 and 115

II

House in 2 occupations. C17 2-cell house with single aisle to rear with
timbered arcade with 2 king post trusses. Rendered stone, stone slate roof.
That to right hand having modern single storey gabled porch. Windows of flat
faced mullion type to each floor have mullions removed and modern glazing.
Gable stacks set in slightly from gable ends. Cat slide roof to rear aisle.

Interior: Right hand bay has larger room with stop-chamfered spine beam resting
on short bressumer carried on side beams cantilevered out from present stone
inserted stack forming an open square for firehood. It is difficult to
determine if this is an original feature, if so it is without precedent and is
probably a shortened bressumer when the stone stack was inserted some time
during C18. Division wall between the 2 rooms has timber girding beam carrying
other spine beam and morticed into post which rises to carry truss. Over line
of former bressumer is other truss.
