Description

Nos. 2 and 4 Brook Street is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with 19th-century extensions. The building is rendered, probably over limestone rubble, and features a plain-tile roof with brick stacks at each end. It is two stories high and has a two-window range. There is a 20th-century glazed door in the center, flanked by three-light wooden casements on either side. The first floor has two-light wooden casements. The interior has not been inspected, and the 19th-century extensions are located to the left and right of the original structure.
