Brookdene And Attached Cottage

Brookdene and the attached cottage are a pair of estate cottages built in 1872 for the Stanley family. They are constructed of Flemish bond red brick with purple headers and red sandstone dressings. The cottages feature a half-hipped roof adorned with bands of purple tiles and fish scale red tiles, along with a large central brick chimney. The design is T-shaped, with a symmetrical, two-storey, four-bay front. The end bays each have a seven-board door set in chamfered stone doorcases, which are sheltered by a downswept roof that overhangs on wooden brackets. The central bays are highlighted by four-light chamfered stone mullioned windows with heavy surrounds, positioned under brick relieving arches. Above these, there are three-light wooden casements located in timber-framed gabled dormers.
