Description
Brook Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century to the 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from sandstone rubble, timber-frame with brick and plaster infill, and weatherboards, topped with pantile roofs. The building features a large external sandstone end stack with a brick shaft.
The farmhouse has a rectangular plan, consisting of a two-bay house along with a granary and ciderhouse that are aligned roughly north to south. It stands two storeys tall. The east elevation includes four windows, which are 2-light mid-20th century casements. The ground floor has three casements, each with two lights, likely from the late 19th century. The entrance is located to the right of centre, framed by a gabled early 20th century porch. To the left, there is a granary extension that features a raking-top dormer and a weatherboarded upper storey. The ground floor of this extension has two entries set in a high rubble plinth. To the right is a single-storey rubble ciderhouse.
On the rear elevation to the west, there are tallet stairs over a kennel that rise to a ledged door leading to the granary. Inside the house, the principal ground floor room has beams with pyramidical chamfer stops. One truss features plain collars, while the others have three queen struts supporting collars under V-struts. The granary includes raking struts from the tie to the principals.
