Description
Brook Farmhouse is a two-storey building dating from the 17th century, originally constructed with a timber frame and plaster. It was extensively altered in the 18th century. The roofs are covered in red plain tiles. The front elevation has a four-window arrangement with vertical sliding sash windows containing glazing bars. These windows are set within flush-cased frames with softwood architraves.
