Description

Brockleigh is a house located in Parkgate Village, built in the late 18th century with an early 19th-century extension by George Cripps. The original structure is made of brown brick in English bond, while the extension features Flemish bond. It has a slate roof with rendered stacks.

The exterior of the house is two stories high with a three-bay front for the original part and a one-bay extension to the right. The front door is a six-panel design with a radial fanlight, set in a plain round-arched doorcase with panelled reveals. The original house has two six-over-six sash windows on both floors, while the extension has eight-over-eight sash windows on both floors. The ground floor windows feature flat arches made of painted gauged brick, and all windows have painted sills.

Inside, the house has four-panel and six-panel doors, with some six-panel doors hung as double doors. There is an 18th-century hob grate in the west-left room, chamfered 18th-century beams, and a dog-legged staircase with a cut and bracketed string.
