Description
The Brockhurst is an early 19th-century hall constructed of yellow ashlar with a hipped grey slate roof. The building has two storeys and three windows, featuring a plain projecting plinth, a plain first-floor band, a moulded cornice, and a parapet. A projecting four-columned Ionic porch with a flat entablature provides access through double four-panel oak doors, which have a lattice overlight. Three-light sash windows, arranged as four panes, twelve panes, and four panes, are situated under a segmental arch on each side of the porch. Upper-storey windows are twelve-pane sashes; the central window has an architrave, and the right-hand window is blocked. The south face displays a twelve-pane central sash to each storey, with a two-storey three-sash canted bay window on either side. The rear (east) face has five sashes on each storey. Four stone chimneys are present. A lower stuccoed north wing lacks any visible features of special interest. The interior has not been inspected.
