Brook House Farmhouse

Brook House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with extensions and an eaves raise in the late 18th century, along with mid-19th century additions and alterations. The structure is timber framed with red brick infill, rebuilding, and additions, topped with slate roofs. The original house appears to have had three or four framed bays and was extended to the left in 1778, as indicated by a date stone, with the eaves raised at the same time. A shorter parallel range was added to the south in the mid-19th century. The building has two storeys.

The framing features fragmentary square panels, likely originally four from the cill to the wall plate, with short straight tension braces. The ground floor has been largely rebuilt in brick on the north side. The fenestration is irregular, with two 20th-century casements directly below the eaves on the left and a similar opening on the right. There is a 19th-century segmental-headed casement to the left of a boarded door and a wide 20th-century casement to the right, which has cut through a blocked segmental-headed opening. A wide inserted recess is also present to the right. A brown brick ridge stack is located to the left at the junction with the 18th-century addition, which features a segmental-headed boarded door and the date stone "1778" on its gable end.

The 19th-century range to the south is two storeys high with a dentilled eaves cornice and a three-window front featuring segmental-headed casements with internal shutters. The central entrance has a plain pilastered doorcase with a bracketed flat hood, panelled reveals, and a six-panel door with a rectangular barred overlight. There are integral end stacks.

Inside, the left ground-floor room has a chamfered ceiling beam. The bay over the recess features an original Queen-strut truss to the left and a truncated integral end stack to the right.
