Description
Brook House is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 18th century and was altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick, with the front rendered, and features Welsh slate roofs and rendered brick stacks. The building has a rectangular plan oriented north-east to south-west, with a cellar and three storeys. It has a symmetrical façade with three windows on each side, which are plate glass sashes. The ground floor contains two windows, some of which have remnants of consoles beside a pedimented porch supported by two wooden Tuscan columns.
To the right of the main house, there is a lower one-bay, two-storey service wing that features glazing bar sashes with cambered heads, including a tripartite lower window. The walls to the north and west have a base of sandstone rubble, with brickwork that ramps up to a sandstone coping along the road frontage.
To the south-west of the house, there are mid-19th century railings on a sandstone and brick wall, along with two-leaved wrought iron gates adorned with scrollwork, fleurs-de-lis, and dog bars. Beneath the southern section of the railings is a bridge that is likely from the early 19th century, made of sandstone and brick with a single round arch. Access to the interior has been refused. The building is included for its group value.
