Description
Brook House and the adjoining warehouse to the north are a house and warehouse built in the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later alterations and additions made to the house in the 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick and features pantiles on the roof, while the warehouse has concrete tiles. The house has a two-room central entrance-hall plan and is two storeys high with two first-floor windows. It has a recessed panelled door with a plain overlight, all beneath a rubbed brick cambered arch. The windows are 12-pane sashes set in flush wooden architraves, with stone sills and brick cambered arches above. The eaves are plain wooden, and there is a brick-coped gable to the right, with end stacks and single-storey outbuildings to the right.
The warehouse to the left is three storeys tall with five openings on the second floor. The ground floor features five segmental-headed openings, two of which have board doors while the rest are blocked. The first floor has a central board door and a boarded-up opening to the left beneath a wide segmental arch, with single boarded-up openings on either side and a 12-pane sliding sash window to the right end beneath segmental arches. The second floor has hatches with board shutters and lintels at eaves level. There is a stepped and dentilled brick eaves cornice and a brick-coped gable. The left return of the warehouse shows a timber beam on the ground floor to the right, with blocked openings on the ground and first floors. The rear has two doors on the ground floor, with other openings boarded-up or blocked at the time of the survey.
Inside the house, there is an open-well staircase featuring a ramped handrail, plain balusters, and turned newels. The warehouse, located next to a stream, is believed to have served various functions, including a tannery, watermill, and maltings. A waterwheel at the north gable-end may have powered a bark mill for the tannery, with storage and drying rooms located above. William Sergeant, a tanner and fellmonger, was known to be operating at Scawby Brook in the 1830s.
