Description

Brookside is a house dating from the early 19th century that has been altered. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and features a slate roof. The building has a rectangular double-depth, double-fronted plan and stands two storeys high with three symmetrical windows. The façade includes raised quoins, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice.

On the ground floor, there is a round-headed doorway flanked by plain pilasters, with simple imposts and a moulded head featuring a keystone. The door and fanlight have been altered. The ground floor also has 12-pane sashed windows with raised sills and wedge lintels. The upper floor windows have similar openings but feature altered 12-pane glazing. The house has corniced gable chimneys. The sides and rear of the building have various small windows with altered glazing, and the rear includes a small lean-to porch.

Local climate

Brookside sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
