Description
Brooklands is a house that has been converted into offices, originally built in the early 19th century and incorporating elements from an 18th-century house. It features painted gault brick with some stone dressings and has slated roofs. The building is two storeys tall with attics, consisting of a main range with a large wing extending to the east towards a factory building and a shorter projecting wing to the north.
The main entrance is recessed and includes a central six-panelled door with a Tuscan portico. There are two twelve-paned hung sash windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor. The east wing has a round-headed staircase window, while the west wing features a ground floor twelve-paned hung sash window. The south front showcases an original half-domed conservatory and a wide shallow bay on the east wing, which has two full-height ground and first floor shuttered hung sash windows.
Inside, there are early 19th-century details and later additions. The property was historically owned by Thomas Evans, who purchased the tanyard in 1844 and passed away in 1850.
