The Gatehouse website record for Brinkheugh Farmhouse

In the civil parish of Brinkburn. In the historic county of Northumberland (Modern Authority of Northumberland, 1974 county of Northumberland).

Brinkheugh is a small manor house and is made up of two blocks: one a late C17 building and the other a bastle of around 1600 in date. The bastle forms the rear of the manor house and there are quite a few original features, including original doorways, a window with an iron grille, and boulder plinth. The front block of the house probably dates to after 1660 and is inscribed above the doorway 'IBM 16..' These are thought to be the initials of James and Margaret Bilton who bought the property in the 1660s.
