Description

Brook Farmhouse is a 16th-century T-plan house that stands two storeys tall. It is framed in timber and has plaster cladding, topped with ridged and gabled roofs covered in peg tiles. There is one red brick chimney stack on the main part of the house and another set into the wing gable. The rear wall of the main range features an oak door head with a 4-centred arch. The south front of the main range has a central front door on the ground floor, which is sheltered by a flat hood supported by scrolled brackets, with modern casement windows on either side. The first storey has matching windows, including a central window above the door hood.

Local climate

Brook Farmhouse 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 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
