Description

Brook Cottage is a former long house that has been converted into a house and storeroom/workshop. It dates from the early 17th century and has undergone alterations in the mid-19th and 20th centuries. The building features painted rubble walls and a roof made of asbestos tiles and corrugated iron.

The house, which has two roof bays, is one storey high with an attic that is illuminated by two early 20th-century raked top dormers. It has three windows at varying heights: a late 20th-century fixed plate glass casement on the left and two three-light mid-20th-century casements on the right, all set under timber lintels.

The former cowhouse is located to the south and is likely made up of three roof bays. It has an entry on the right that is approached by three 19th-century stone steps. The wall features two battered buttresses and a row of ventilation slits.

Inside, the ground floor of the house is divided by timber-framed partitions with wattle-and-daub infill, and there is an entry from the south room leading to the cowhouse. The gable of the cowhouse displays an exposed truss with three queen struts supporting the collar. A late 20th-century extension has been added to the west of the house.
