Brockdale

Brockdale is a large house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-18th century, the early 19th century, and the 20th century. The house is built of painted stucco with roofs of varying heights, some slate-covered and others with old tiles. The original plan was rectangular, but it is now irregular.

The west-facing entrance front features an early 18th-century section under an old tiled hipped roof, with two windows in simple wooden frames. A 6-panel door is placed between the windows, framed by a 20th-century Georgian-style doorcase. To the right is a brick buttress and a larger stair window within a similar wooden frame. A projecting wing with a single ground-floor window extends to the right, and two further extensions are to the left, each with its own old tile roof of varying height and with gabled windows breaking the eaves. To the left of these extensions is a flat extension.

The east-facing garden elevation is an early 19th-century house of two storeys under a hipped slate roof, with a symmetrical three-bay facade. First-floor windows are framed by moulded architraves, while the ground-floor windows are long casements in similar frames. A later four-bay section is on the right, with a lower roof and a narrow recessed link, and its windows have plain reveals.

Inside the early 18th-century section is an imperial staircase with bobbin balusters and wreathed handrails.
