Description

Brook House is a house that was originally built around 1600 and has since been partially refaced in the 19th century, with further alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with rendered infill panels on the south side, a slate-hung gable end on the west, and a coursed limestone rubble lean-to at the rear. The roof is covered with 20th-century green concrete interlocking tiles.

The structure likely consists of three framed bays and is 1½ to 2 storeys high. The south front has two 19th-century gabled eaves dormers with cross windows and planted timbers in the gables, a 20th-century raking eaves dormer on the north side, and an off-centre painted brick ridge stack on the east. On the south front, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window on the first floor to the left, a central 20th-century bow window on the ground floor, and a 20th-century casement window to the right, both with louvred shutters. The entrance features a 20th-century glazed door beneath a 19th-century bracketed gabled porch. The north front includes a central 19th-century lean-to, a 20th-century lean-to conservatory to the left, and 20th-century double garage doors to the right.
