Description
Brookside Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1820. It features a brown brick front in Flemish bond and has a gabled stone-slate roof with flush chimneys. The front of the house has four 16-pane sash windows and a late 20th-century 2-pane landing window in a previously blocked opening. The façade includes three gauged brick arches and two camber arches. The entrance door has six fielded panels and is topped by a wooden radial-bar fanlight. At the rear, there is a tall round-arched small-pane sash window for the stair, while the other rear windows are wooden casements, likely from the late 19th century.
Inside, the front rooms have doors with six flush panels, while other areas feature broad-boarded doors. The back door has wrought iron long hinges, and there are internal shutters on the front windows. The staircase is a plain open string dogleg design with square balusters and turned posts. There are openings between the stair and rear bedrooms, which may have originally lacked windows. The upper rooms contain iron fireplaces.
