Description
Brookside is a house likely dating from the late 17th century, with an 19th-century extension to the left. It is constructed of limestone rubble with brick dressings, and has a plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack in the centre. The house follows a lobby-entry plan. It is two storeys high and originally had a two-window front. A central doorway has been blocked up. Modern casement windows now fill all openings. The interior has not been inspected. A 19th-century extension to the left features a two-storey angled bay window. A panelled door is located on the left return.
