Description
Brookside is an L-plan farmhouse that has been built in three distinct phases. The oldest part consists of two bays of an open hall, featuring an original smoke-blackened collar rafter roof. This section is located at the rear of a late 16th century, two-storey timber-framed and plastered addition, which jetties to the north-east and has an exposed frame and half-hipped roof. In the late 17th century, a rendered brick wing was added to the south-east, also two storeys high, with a shallow parapet gable and an end stack. A hall floor and chimney stack were inserted during this period. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The north-east street facade includes four windows with glazing bars, two of which are in the brick wing and feature segmental arches, along with a half-glazed door. Inside, there are two inglenook hearths and stop-chamfered ceiling beams.
Local climate
Brookside sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 93% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
