Description
Brook Villa is an early 19th-century house located on Front Street in Lanchester. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and features painted ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof topped with a grey brick chimney. The house is two storeys high and consists of three bays. The central entrance features a six-panel door set in a panelled reveal, flanked by narrow pilasters and an entablature. The windows are twenty-pane sashes, with the outer panes being narrower, and they have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The steeply-pitched hipped roof includes a wide central chimney, although the central chimney pots are missing.
To the right, there is a one-storey, three-bay extension that is set back and has 20th-century windows beneath a hipped roof.
