Description

New Brook House is a house, likely dating from the early 17th century, and altered subsequently. The walls are rendered, possibly over an oak frame and with some rebuilding in brick. The roofs are covered in grey slate. The building consists of a left wing of three rooms and a taller cross-wing to the right, with an attic above the cross-wing. The left wing appears to have been partly recased in brick in the mid-19th century. The front door, located in the centre of the left wing, is framed and boarded, with a plain overlight. Windows have been replaced in the cross-wing and lower storey of the left wing; the upper storey of the left wing retains small-pane casements. There is a flush chimney on the left gable, a chimney in front of the ridge where the wings join, and a ridge chimney in the centre of the cross-wing.

The most notable features are inside the house, including substantial wall framing, oak timbers of large section, and numerous chamfered oak beams. One oak beam has three bold gadroons carved into its underside. An ingle-nook bressumer is present in the rear left room, though the chimney serving it has been removed. The roof structure displays chamfered purlins with shaped windbraces in the corners where they meet the principal rafters.
