Brookfoot House Pear Tree Cottage

Brookfoot House and Pear Tree Cottage is a house that has been converted into two dwellings, with attached cottages that were unoccupied at the time of the survey in 1986. The main building dates from the late 17th century and was remodeled in the 18th century, with the cottages added during the same period. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and has stone slate roofs.

The principal part of the building features a three-unit plan that was originally a lobby-entry design, with a rear outshut. It stands two storeys high and has three bays. The structure includes a chamfered plinth and 18th-century doorways inserted at both junctions. The second doorway is surrounded by altered coursing in the masonry, with breaks in the plinth on each side indicating the former position of a porch. There are three recessed windows on each floor, all of which have two lights with flat-faced mullions and double-chamfered jambs, currently fitted with casements and glazing bars. The gables have raised copings with moulded kneelers, and there are external gable chimney stacks with corniced chimneys, as well as a similar chimney on the ridge aligned with the second door.

Inside, the building has been altered but still retains some original features, including moulded plaster beams and cornices, the top flight of a wide original staircase, a Tudor-arched chamfered doorway at the rear of the first floor, and at least one decorated cast-iron "duck's-nest" hobgrate on the first floor.

The attached pair of cottages is set back at the left end and consists of two units across two low storeys, facing to the rear. They have two doorways with plain surrounds (one of which has been altered to a window), two square windows on each floor, mostly featuring two-light horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars, and a small window on the first floor.
