Description

Brook Farmhouse is an early to mid 18th century building. It is two storeys high, constructed of rendered brick with a pantile roof and features two brick ridge chimneys. The front part of the house has three windows on the first floor, with the outer windows having three lights and the centre window having two lights above the doorways. On the ground floor, there are two tripartite windows, although the right-hand one has been altered. The entrance includes a six-panel door, which is a flush type with the upper two panels glazed. There is a modern trellis porch with a segmental hood.

To the right, there is a partly stone-built extension that has uniform rendering and matches the eaves and ridge height of the main part of the house. This extension features a range of three-light casement windows and a hipped roof. At the rear, there are two gabled extensions of unequal length, with the right-hand gable being quarter hipped and containing a blocked three-light wood mullion attic window. Various lean-tos are present at the rear, one of which is connected to a long brick outhouse that has a later catslide roof over two pig sties, with a gable for a stone-dressed vent situated in between.
