Description
Brook House is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of chequered red and grey brick with a plain tile roof. It has a double depth design, featuring two storeys, an attic, and a cellar set on a brick plinth. The building includes a plat band and a dentilled brick eaves cornice, topped by a hipped roof with returning hips. There are rear stacks on both the right and left sides. The front facade has two hipped dormers, each with 16-pane glazing-bar sashes, and a regular three-window arrangement with two slightly recessed 20-pane glazing-bar sashes on each floor in wider blocked openings, along with a central 12-pane sash on the first floor, all adorned with splayed rubbed-brick voussoirs. The central entrance features a panelled door accessed by two steps, topped with a rectangular fanlight. There is a rear return wing on the right side. The interior has not been inspected.
