Description
Old Brooke House is a house dating from the 16th century. It is timber framed and covered with wood block to resemble painted stone, as well as painted brick and tile hanging. The roof is plain tiled. The house has two storeys and features a projecting jettied wing on the right, with a hipped roof to the right and a half-hipped roof to the left. There are stacks located to the centre left and projecting at the end right. Each floor of the projecting wing has one glazing bar sash window, with margin-light bar tracery on the ground floor. A 20th-century boarded door is set in a tiled surround within a projecting brick porch at the centre. The entire building is obscured by the adjacent Littlewick Cottage.
