Description
Brockley Farmhouse is a 1753 farmhouse, with an earlier 18th-century section altered around 1800. It is located on Cotterell's Lane, Elsworth. The house is constructed of red brick and local gault brick, with red brick dressings. The roof is covered with 20th-century interlocking tiles. The building is two storeys and three bays wide. It features a brick plinth, a painted band between floors, a sawtooth brick eaves cornice, an east gable with a tumbled brick parapet, an end stack, and a ridge stack to the right of centre. The front has three recessed, three-light sash windows on each floor, with segmental brick arches over the ground-floor windows. The entrance has a four-panelled door and a patterned rectangular fanlight, set within a doorcase featuring reveals and angle bosses to a reed moulding. Inside, a closed string staircase with turned balusters is likely a reset feature.
