Brook House

Brook House is an 18th-century house built over an earlier timber frame. The front features bricks near the door that are dated 1737 and initialed GW, WEW, and WP. It has plum red brickwork with cherry red dressings and an old tiled roof edged with Welsh slates above a wooden eaves cornice. The house is two storeys high with attics and includes two box casement dormers. There is a plat band at the first floor level and full-height brick Tuscan pilasters at each end, topped with entablatures. The sash windows have glazing bars, with three on the first floor set back in reveals and two on the ground floor nearly flush with exposed boxes and moulded architraves, all beneath flat rubbed brick arches. The entrance features a six-panel door, with four fielded panels and the top two glazed, set in a reveal and surrounded by an architrave under a frieze and cornice hood. At the rear, there is a 19th-century wing made of yellow-grey brick with a Welsh slated roof.
