Description
Le Brooke House is a house dating to approximately the 1840s, with extensions added in the 19th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, a red brick facade in Flemish bond, and a plastered exterior. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. The house has a rectangular plan facing southeast, with internal stacks located on the left side and at the rear right. There is an original rear wing, with weatherboarding on the right side and a half-hipped roof.
The building is two storeys high. A 19th or 20th-century lean-to extension extends to the rear, covered with a mixture of handmade and machine-made red tiles. A stack and a single-storey extension are located to the left of this lean-to, projecting from the rear of the neighbouring property at number 106.
On the ground floor, there are two original sash windows with 8 lights each, featuring flat arches constructed with gauged brick. The first floor has three original sash windows with 6 lights each, each with a segmental brick arch. A central 19th or 20th-century half-glazed door is present, accompanied by a plain fanlight recessed within brick jambs and a semicircular arch built with gauged brick, accessible by a single stone step. The roof is hipped.
Footings have been repaired with a course of bricks laid on their edges to the left of the door. An iron plate and bolt is visible above the left-hand ground-floor window, where the flat arch is defective. On the right return, at ground floor level, there is one original sash window, originally 6+6 lights, with the lower sash altered to a single pane. At the rear of the rear wing, on the first floor, is one original casement window with 4 lights.
The building is included on the list for its contribution to group value.
