The Brooklyn

The Brooklyn is a public house, dated 1859 and designed by George Woodhouse. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and a graded slate roof. The building is of Gothic style with an asymmetrical design.

The front elevation forms a wing of the garden front. The left side features a gabled porch with prominent buttressing and a stilted archway supported by low corbels. Above the door is a two-light window with a foiled design, and paired lancet windows to the right within a narrow bay terminating in an embattled parapet with a stone fleche. The parapet rises to a dormer gable over a bay to the right, which has a wide four-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor and a three-light mullioned and transomed window above, with a foiled central light. Stone shafts characterise expressed stacks to the right and on the left gable. The garden front presents a simpler three-window arrangement. An advanced, squared bay window is positioned to the left, featuring renewed French windows, and two two-light mullioned windows to the right. A central oriel window is located on the first floor, alongside a paired foiled mullioned window to the right and a renewed four-light mullioned window to the left.

The western elevation is also asymmetrically composed, forming a four-window range. The right-hand return gable of the garden front exhibits mullioned and transomed windows of two and three lights. A recessed bay beyond this has a doorway to the right (aligned with the front entrance), with foiled lights and cusped trefoiled spandrels inset in the door. A stepped mullioned and transomed window is positioned above the doorway, topped with an embattled parapet and a stone and wrought-iron fleche. A full-height bay window is to the left of the doorway, squared at ground floor level and canted above, featuring a lower four-light mullioned and transomed window with carved stone mullions on each side. A narrow bay has an ornately foiled two-light window on each floor and a steep gable with fretted bargeboards.

The rear elevation comprises two asymmetrical gables and a central tower with an embattled parapet and a pyramidal roof, dated in raised lettering as 'T.S.W' beneath the parapet. Single-storey extensions, likely dating from the early 20th century, house service areas. The interior retains original features, including Jacobean-style plaster ceilings and the staircase.
