Brook House

Brook House is a house dating from 1710, originally commissioned for Thomas Boteler, with extensions added around 1907. The house is constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof. It is two storeys and has an attic, featuring a discontinuous moulded plat band and boxed eaves to a hipped roof with two pedimented dormers and stacks positioned to the left and right. The windows are regularly spaced, with 5 glazing bar sashes on the first floor and 4 on the ground floor, each featuring keyed and gauged heads. The central front door comprises six raised and fielded panels, topped with a traceried semi-circular fanlight and an open pediment supported by fluted pilasters.

Inside, the staircase has a ramped, moulded handrail on heavy newel posts with barley-sugar twist balusters, arranged on a dog-leg plan spanning four flights. The main floors contain panelled rooms, characterised by dado rails and moulded cornices, with dentil cornices over the main doorways. The fireplaces feature lugged and pulvinated marble surrounds, complemented by bolection molded surrounds. Numerous original doors and fitted cupboards remain, showcasing H and L shaped, and butterfly shaped hinges. A rear wing includes a kitchen range from the early 20th century, along with original copper and bathroom fittings.
