Description

1 Brookside is an early to mid-19th century building constructed from grey gault brick. It stands two storeys high and features four sash windows with glazing bars facing the street. The entrance has panelled double doors framed by a stone pilastered surround. Above, there is a timber dentil eaves cornice with a wide overhang. The roof is hipped and gabled, covered with slate. The garden front showcases a two-storey semi-circular bay with French windows on the lower level and a plat-band at the first-floor cill level. Inside, notable features include a well-crafted staircase and enriched plaster cornices.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
