Outbuildings To North West Of Brook House

The outbuildings located to the north-west of Brook House date from the 17th and 18th centuries and consist of agricultural structures and a kiln. They are constructed from timber-frame, brick, and coursed stone rubble, topped with a plain-tile roof. The buildings have an L-shaped plan, with the end unit serving as a kiln.

These single-storey outbuildings feature five bays, with various openings at both levels and plain boarded doors at the front and back. The floor structure includes high-quality carved reset beams. The roof is supported by a single trenched purlin system with four trusses, which incorporate many reused truss members from the 16th or 17th century.

The end unit is a square-plan stone hop kiln or drying room, characterized by gables. Each side has framed oak vent openings with shuttered louvres on the outside and top-hung boarded doors on the inside. There are three boarded doors in total. The loft rack is formed from a grid of iron ties, and the roof features a single straight-braced purlin structure with a central projecting ridge louvre, which has a shaft that pierces the plastered ceiling between the purlins. These outbuildings were previously listed as part of Brook House.
