Description
Brook House is a house dating from approximately 1839, designed by I.K. Brunel. It is constructed of ashlar limestone with a complex slate roof and stone octagonal stacks. The house is in a Domestic Tudor style and has a complex plan. The main block is two storeys and three bays, with a turret to the right. A plank door is centrally positioned, set within a four-centre arched stone doorway with a hood mould and overlight. The window openings are irregular, featuring two-light stone mullion and transom windows to the ground and first floors on the left side. A single-light transom window is positioned between the ground and first floors to the right, and centrally on the first floor. The left-hand side of the first floor is jettied. Pierced bargeboards adorn the cross-gable on the left side, and stone gables are visible on the roof. The interior has not been inspected. The house was part of a planning scheme for Steventon Station, which served Oxford until 1844 and was later used for board meetings of the Great Western Railway.
