Brooke Farmhouse

Brooke Farmhouse is a farmhouse with an early 17th century core, featuring rewalling and additions from 1714, along with later alterations from the 18th century. Originally timber-framed, it is now constructed of English garden wall bond orange brick on a sandstone plinth, with sandstone quoins. The roof is made of Kerridge stone-slate, with a stone ridge and three brick chimneys. The building has a T-shaped layout, originally designed with a two-room plan.

The south front is two stories high and has three bays. The right end bay projects under a gable and contains three-light wooden casements, with the lower window featuring remnants of a brick hood mould. The gable displays an original timber truss. The left end bay also has three-light casements beneath a cambered brick head, and a central four-board door set back behind a simple wooden architrave.

On the west end, there is a semi-circular headed date plaque that reads "BENEDICT BROOK 1714" along with a carved badger. The west front retains remnants of two ovolo-moulded wooden mullioned windows. Inside, there are timber-framed partition walls and bead-moulded ceiling beams, along with some 18th century three-board doors and one 17th century door featuring two recessed moulded panels. The roof structure remains intact, showcasing wind-braced lower purlins.
