Brankelow Cottage

Brankelow Cottage is a house that was formerly a gamekeeper's cottage, built in the early 19th century. It features red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and a slate roof with lead flashings. The building is single and two storeys high, with the lake front displaying seven bays arranged symmetrically. The central projecting section consists of three bays and has two-light French windows on the ground floor, which are topped with pointed arches and intersecting glazing bars. The bays are separated by pilasters capped with ashlar crocketed finials, and there is a battlemented parapet above. Floating Tudor hood moulds are present above the windows.

On either side of the central section are wings that are slightly recessed, featuring 20th-century windows in the centre and pointed heads with intersecting glazing bars. Projecting pavilions flank the wings, each with central French windows, recessed blind arrow slits on either side, and heart-shaped decorations above. The corners of the pavilions have pilaster buttresses that rise to crocketed pinnacles, with a battlemented parapet in between. At the rear, there is a central projecting block that is two storeys high, with three bays that have cambered headed two-light windows on both the ground and first floors. On either side of this block are 20th-century quarter-circular additions.
