Description
Brook House is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the mid-18th century with later additions and alterations. It features painted uncoursed limestone rubble with stone angle quoins and a plain tile roof that has integral end stacks with painted brick shafts. The building is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic and a semi-cellar to the left, topped with a moulded eaves cornice. The front has three windows, which are early 19th-century leaded casements set in segmental-headed stone surrounds. The central entrance is marked by a flat-roofed porch that includes a fixed-light window at the front and a doorway to the right, leading to a 20th-century glazed inner door.
Inside, the right ground-floor room features a chamfered spine beam and a large stone fireplace with a pilastered surround. The roof consists of single purlins arranged in three bays, with a wide central bay and two upper cruck trusses that rest on tie beams. These structural elements are likely original to the house rather than taken from an earlier building.
