Brookhouse Old Hall

Brookhouse Old Hall is a house dating to 1713. It is constructed of slobbered rubble with a slate roof. The building originally comprised two cells, with a third cell added to the left. The house is three storeys high. The original part of the building features rebated and chamfered mullioned windows. A single-light fire window is visible alongside windows of two lights, and a window of three lights with a lowered sill. On the first floor are two windows of three lights. The attic storey has four sash windows with glazing bars and rebated, chamfered surrounds. The front door, positioned to the left of the right-hand window, has a chamfered surround with a battlemented lintel inscribed '1713 TID'. The left-hand cell incorporates a modern window with plain reveals on the ground floor, and above that, at an intermediate level, two sash windows with glazing bars and plain stone surrounds. The left-hand (south) gable wall features two modern first-floor windows with glazing bars and plain stone surrounds, above which are blank lunettes with plain stone surrounds. An outshut extends to part of the rear. Internally, the ground floor has chamfered axial beams, tenoned at their southern ends into a large beam, originally a firehood bressumer. A moulded, shouldered fireplace is set into the wall and appears original. To its left is a spice cupboard door inscribed 'EHM 1727'. The first floor contains oak partitioning with raised and fielded panels. The staircase has lost its balusters, except for a row of splat balusters on the landing of the attic storey.
