Description
Brookside, with adjacent outbuildings, is an 18th-century house that was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and some cut dressings, topped with a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has two bays. The central entrance features a half-glazed four-panel door, flanked by four-pane sash windows that have tooled-and-margined lintels and slightly-projecting sills. The gables are coped and have banded end stacks.
To the left of the house is a two-storey, two-bay outbuilding that has an external stone stair leading to a loft door set in a block surround, as well as a cart entrance with a timber lintel. The left side of this outbuilding features a 16-pane sash window in a stone surround. To the right, there is a single-storey outbuilding with a four-pane sash window. The rear elevation of the house has four-pane sash windows, and the 19th-century outshut to the west outbuilding includes four boarded doors.
The interior of the house has not been seen, and the rendered rear porch is not considered of special interest.
