Description

Brooklands Technical College, originally Brooklands House, is a house that has been converted into a college. It was built in 1860 and largely rebuilt in 1891 by Sir Reginald Blomfield in a free Queen Anne style. The building is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and features plain tiled roofs that are hipped to the left. It has a square lead ogee dome to the right and tall chimney stacks beneath gauged brick cornices.

The main house consists of five bays, with a gable front bay to the left and a two-bay wing at the left end that has a flat roof. This wing connects to a tower and a seven-bay wing to the right, which projects forward to create a courtyard in the re-entrant angle. The structure has three storeys with attics, featuring five pedimented dormers on the main block, a central segmental pediment, and a "Venetian" style attic window in the gable front bay. The ends of the building have brick quoins, with plat bands above the ground and first floors, and a modillion cornice at the second floor.

The windows are irregularly arranged and consist of glazing bar sash windows beneath gauged brick heads, including a large round-arched staircase window to the right and a round window in the right-hand tower. There are double plate glass doors at the center of the main block beneath a flat hood, with additional doors to the left in the gabled bay. A square clock face in a stone surround with cill brackets is located on the courtyard front of the tower, which has a rendered finish at the rear corner.

The rear, or garden front, has six bays, two of which are gabled with three-light dormers in the center. There is a large "Venetian" style window on the ground floor to the left, framed by an Ionic oilaster surround. The 20th-century extensions at the front are not included in the listing.
