Description
Brook House is a villa with an attached wall and railings, dating from around 1833 to 1836. It was likely designed by John Mair of London, for Letts. The villa is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco facade, a Welsh slate roof, and cast-iron railings.
The architectural style is Neo-Tudor, with two storeys, a basement, and attics to the gable. The facade features a first-floor band and eight-pane casement windows with margin-lights. The windows have pointed-arched glazing bars to the heads, chamfered surrounds, and hoodmoulds. A prominent central window to the gable has a single-pane casement with margin-lights and a shaped overlight within a pointed-arched, chamfered surround with a hoodmould with foliate stops. The front door, accessed by two steps, is set within a pointed-arched opening with a chamfered surround, a hoodmould with face stops, and is comprised of a part-glazed, four-panel door with Gothic tracery to the upper panels. The ground floor also features two eight-pane casements with similar detailing to the upper windows. The basement includes a glazed door and multi-pane casement window. Decorative bargeboards adorn the gable ends, and there are end stacks.
The interior of the villa has not been inspected.
To the right of the house is an embattled wall with a four-centred opening with a chamfered surround and a plank door, adjoining a similar wall to number 11. Lancet-arched area railings are also present.
Historical records indicate that Letts purchased the land in 1833, and John Mair, the architect, was a signatory to the deed. The villa is depicted in a panoramic view of Leamington from Newbold Terrace by Anne Gun Cunninghame, circa 1840. Leam Terrace was developed between 1828 and 1836, with building completed on both sides of Willes Road by 1841.
Brook House forms an architectural group with numbers 11 and 13.
