Description
Brook House is a house reputed to date from the 14th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building is one storey and has an attic, sitting on a flint plinth. The roof is half-hipped to the left and hipped to the right, which features an outshot. There is a stack on the left side and a large hipped 20th-century dormer on the right. The ground floor has three wooden casement windows, a plank and stud door to the left, and a boarded door to the right. At the rear, there is a 19th-century outshot made of flint and brick. The interior is said to follow a long-house plan from the 14th century.
