Description

Brook House is a late 18th-century cottage constructed of whitewashed brick and roofed with slate. The original design was of four bays, with a further bay added to the south side. The cottage is built in a Gothic style, with casement windows featuring lozenge glazing and stepped labels above the ground-floor windows. A stone door case frames the six-panel entrance door, the upper panels being fielded. Rear windows are sash windows with glazing bars.
