Description

Brooklands is an 18th-century two-storey house located on Bexley Lane in Crayford. The building is constructed of brown brick with red dressings, featuring quoins, a stringcourse, and a dentilled cornice. A tiled 'H' roof sits behind a parapet. The facade originally had glazing bars, which are now missing. A doorway, approached by eight steps, is flanked by engaged Doric columns and topped with an open pediment and a semi-circular fanlight.

Local climate

Brooklands sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
