Description
Brookside Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a core dating from the late 17th century, featuring additions from the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is built from coursed, squared sandstone rubble and has stone-coped gables on a Kerridge stone-slate roof, with a stone ridge and two stone chimneys. Originally, it was a two-room house with a gable entry, which later became L-shaped with an addition to the rear.
The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-bay stone front. The projecting gable features two-light horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars and a blocked two-light 18th-century mullion to the right. To the left, there is a three-light casement under a concrete lintel, with another three-light horizontal sliding sash above it. The central door is set under a stone lintel. The left gable end has a blocked original door under a stone lintel and three two-light casements in partly surviving stone mullion surrounds.
Inside, there is a timber-framed heck and a chamfered heck post and beam over the fireplace, along with remains of a stone fire surround. The remaining ceiling beams are chamfered.
