Description
Brookside Cottage is an 18th-century cottage with 20th-century extensions to the left and right. The original part of the cottage is constructed of brick and has a thatched roof with gable ends, featuring a brick stack on the left side. It has two storeys and a two-window front, with all windows set beneath segmental brick arches. The original windows are wooden casements with leaded lights. A thatched porch sits centrally. The right-hand extension mirrors the original with wooden casements and leaded lights. A 20th-century garage to the left is not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
