Description
Brose Lake Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, with an exterior dating from around 1820, but it likely contains features from the late 17th century inside. The building is constructed of brown brick in English garden wall bond and has a grey slate roof. It is two storeys high with three windows. The structure has been slightly lengthened to the right under a continuous roof, probably in the mid-19th century, and has been extended to the rear with a catslide roof.
There are five stone steps leading to the doorway, which features a boarded door beneath a plain rectangular fanlight. The lower storey has 16-pane flush sash windows, while the bedrooms have 12-pane unequal sash windows. The house has flush gable chimneys.
Inside, there is a brick cellar. The former rear wall (at the front of the rear extension) and the side walls of the stairwell are made of oak small framing. The interior also includes an oak dog-leg stair and a two-panel oak door leading to the right bedroom.
