Description

Brook House is an 18th-century house that has been extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of stock brick with red brick dressings and has a roof made of handmade red tiles. The house features a double-pile plan with the original entrance elevation, which is now the garden elevation, facing southwest. There are two chimney stacks on each side wall.

To the northeast, there is a two-storey service wing from the 18th century, and a two-storey extension from the 19th century, along with a further two-storey extension from the 20th century, each of which now functions as a separate house. The main block is three storeys high.

On the southwest elevation, there are five French windows with segmental heads and segmental arches made of gauged red brick, along with red brick jambs. A red brick string course runs along the elevation. The first floor features four double-hung sash windows with six lights, complete with blind boxes, segmental heads, and segmental arches of gauged red brick, along with a dummy window in the middle. Above this is a string course and a moulded cornice of red brick. The second floor has four double-hung sash windows with four lights, similar heads, and another dummy window in the middle. There is also a string course of red brick and a parapet with stone coping.

Three stone steps lead up to the central French window. The 19th-century southeast extension has three double-hung sash windows with twelve lights on each floor, featuring segmental brick arches. The southeast elevation of the northeast wing includes a 20th-century door and porch, along with three double-hung sash windows with twelve lights on each floor, which contain many panes of crown glass. This elevation also has two string courses and a parapet with stone coping.

A 19th-century glazed door in a reeded wooden doorcase with a semi-elliptical pediment is located on the northeast elevation of the main block. The northwest elevation, facing the road, has blank window recesses.
