Brook House

Brook House is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with remodelling from the mid to late 19th century. It features a timber frame on a painted rubble plinth, with painted brick nogging, and parts that have been rendered and rebuilt in painted brick and squared coursed sandstone. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The house has three framed bays, with the north-east bay likely being slightly later due to its lighter framing.

The north-west front includes two gabled eaves dormers on the left, which have 3-light 20th-century wooden casements, and 19th-century pierced shaped barge boards with finials. The gable ends also have pierced shaped barge boards with finials. There is an off-centre brick ridge stack to the right and an integral brick end stack to the left. The front has four windows, featuring 20th-century two- and three-light wooden casements. A 19th-century gabled brick porch with a boarded door and pierced shaped barge boards with a finial leads to the entrance, alongside a 20th-century glazed lean-to addition on the right and two doors behind it.

The right-hand gable end displays an exposed collar and tie-beam truss with one remaining V-strut. At the rear, there are two 20th-century gabled eaves dormers and a 20th-century lean-to conservatory. Inside, the central ground-floor room has a chamfered spine beam and joists, along with an open fireplace featuring a chamfered lintel. Brook House was reportedly the home of the Ambler family before Ford House was built and was occupied by the Wall family during the late 18th century, although its ownership prior to 1734 is not well documented. Originally, the house was L-shaped, but the east wing has since been demolished.
