Brooks End Garden Flat The Old House

Brooks End Garden Flat, part of The Old House, is a house that has been converted into flats. It was built around 1729, with extensions added in the late 18th century and further remodeling and extensions around 1830. The exterior features roughcast walls, a limestone ashlar rear porch, ashlar ridge stacks, and a slate hipped roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high, with a ten-window range. The window arrangement consists of two, three, one, and three windows, including a full-height, projecting bow on the right side that is connected to a central full-height canted bay and a left-hand block. All sections have overhanging bracketed eaves, with French windows in the two bays and 6/6-pane sash windows set behind reveals in the bow. The stacks feature bracketed cornices, and the gutters have lion-head castings around the bow. There is a tented verandah on the left return at the back and an early 20th-century Doric porch at the rear.

Inside, there is a central hall with a lateral dogleg stair that has column-on-vase balusters and a ramped toadback rail. The interior also includes 18th-century fireplaces with Delft tiles, six-panel doors, a coved ceiling at the first-floor bowed end, a fully-panelled dining room, window shutters, and a vaulted cellar.
