Description
Brook Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings and features a plain tile roof with brick gable end stacks and a central stack. The east elevation has an off-centre doorway with a 20th-century half-glazed door. To the right of the doorway is a window with small panes, and to the left is a window opening with an 18th-century stone surround and a chamfered sill, featuring later glazing bar casements. There is a similar window to the left and two more above, although the upper windows do not have chamfered sills.
On the west elevation, there is a blocked single light stair window with a chamfered surround, a three-light chamfered mullion window to the right, and a single light window with a chamfered surround further to the right. A 20th-century lean-to is located to the left. According to F. Marston in the Derbyshire Archaeological Journal from 1967, there is "one internal cruck frame with straight blades, arched tiebeam, collar and spurs (removed)." The interior has not been inspected.
