Brookend House

Brookend House is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, which incorporates some earlier materials and has seen minor later additions and alterations. The building features regularly coursed and dressed limestone rubble on the sides and rear, with ashlar stone on the front. It has a low-pitched hipped slate roof that is divided into three sections at the rear. The house stands three storeys tall and has a three-window front, with horned glazing bar sashes; the ground floor windows are tripartite, while those on the second floor are of reduced proportions.

The central entrance is framed by a fluted stone Doric porch that has a moulded entablature, leading to a six-panel door topped with a wreathed and radiating rectangular overlight. The returns on either side of the house feature three bays; the left side has two reused four-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows on the first floor, while the right side has a three-light window with concave moulding that lights the cellar. There are valley stacks at the rear, and the back wall has three windows on each floor, which are late 18th or 19th century casements, some of which are leaded. The first floor and the centre window on the ground floor have segmental heads.

A late 19th-century canted bay window is located on the left side of the ground floor, along with a lean-to porch on the right that features an inverted scratch-dial dated "1660" reused next to the door. Another scratch-dial is incorporated as a quoin on the left corner of the building. Attached to the rear left corner is a single-storey service range from the 19th century, which has a three-light and a four-light mullion window reused on the right wall, with parts of another mullion window incorporated into a tall two-light window on the left wall.

The interior was not fully inspected during the last survey in July 1987, but it includes a stone-flagged central entrance hall with an open-well staircase featuring stick balusters and a carved open string. The ground-floor rooms have panelled doors, window shutters at the front, and chamfered ceiling beams. The kitchen, located in the rear centre room, has a triple arch on the right wall with a fireplace in the centre. There are well-preserved deserted village earthworks in the field to the southeast.
