Description
Brooklands Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with additions from the mid-19th century and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with brick dressings, and has a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. The house features gable end stacks with brick shafts.
The original design was a large, two-room plan with a central entrance, each room heated by a gable end stack. In the mid-19th century, a one-room plan wing was added to the rear right, incorporating a stack on the right side, and another one-room plan wing was added to the rear left, with a stack on the left side.
The front facade is symmetrical, arranged in five bays with an attic. The ground floor has a central six-panelled door, a twelve-pane sash window with sidelights to the left, a blocked window to the left, and two twelve-pane sash windows to the right, all with segmental brick arches, likely dating to the early 19th century. The first floor has similar twelve-pane sash windows with segmental brick arches. The attic has three gabled dormers, each with a twelve-pane sash window. The right side of the rear wing features a 20th-century door leading to a lateral corridor and a three-pane light with margin glazing at first floor. The left side is blank. The rear of the house has a two-story canted bay with twelve-pane sashes with cambered arches at each floor on the left wing, and a twelve-pane sash window at ground and first floor to the right, with a two-light casement in the attic gable end. The wing to the right is rendered and also has a two-story canted bay with twelve-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, plus a stair light with margin glazing to the left. A single-story, 20th-century porch encloses the central rear door. The interior was not inspected.
