Brookhill Hall

Brookhill Hall is a house dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the early 18th and late 18th centuries, and alterations in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone, rubble, and red brick, with ashlar dressings, and has stone slate roofs.

The main front is of coursed squared stone and features a chamfered plinth to the basement, with five inserted small-paned windows beneath metal lintels. Above these are five 12-pane sash windows in moulded architraves, with five similar windows on the upper floor. A moulded cornice and ramped parapet with central and corner piers top the facade. To the left, a recessed single-story bay from the early 19th century has blocked windows below flat stone arches, with a hipped roof. The side elevation of this bay has three full-height sashes below similar arches. The right return of the main range has a blocked, chamfered five-light mullion and transomed first-floor window, along with two 17th-century attic windows with dripmoulds.

A red brick wing to the rear forms the east front and is three stories high with two gabled bays. A large porch, dated 1898, features stone mullioned windows and a four-centred arched doorcase with a dated coat of arms above. To the right of the porch are three early 20th-century casement windows, above similar windows, and again above four more similar windows, all below stone lintels. A dentilled eaves band runs between the gables, and large stone ridge stacks are present. The end gable wall has a blocked, four-light, recessed and chamfered mullion window to the third floor. A late 19th-century single-story service wing extends to the north, mirroring one to the west.

The rear elevation has a three-bay early 18th-century facade of rubble stone with quoins. Two two-light casements are at ground floor beneath a stepped band, three 18-pane sashes are above, two of which are original, with another stepped band over. Three uneven 9-pane sashes are in plain surrounds to the third storey.

An early 18th-century hopper head is inscribed 'WLC'. Inside, a cantilevered stone staircase from the early 19th century has stick balusters and a ramped handrail. There is early 17th-century panelling in two front rooms, one with an 18th-century fireplace, and early 18th-century panelling in a first-floor back bedroom. An 18th-century fireplace with a fluted keystone is in the bedroom above the porch. Brookhill Hall was originally the seat of the Coke family.
