Brook Cottage

Brook Cottage, originally a pair of cottages and now a house, dates to the early 18th century with an addition constructed in 1765. It is built of rubble stone with ashlar dressings, and has a stone-tiled roof with coped gables. The east end features a saddlestone, while brick stacks are present at the west end and on the north-east rear gable.

The earlier cottage, to the right, has a three-window front with hollow-chamfered mullion windows. These include two-light windows with hoods on the first floor, and a continuous dripmould over two three-light ground-floor windows; the dripmould steps over the doorcase which is flanked by smaller single-light windows, all with cyma moulding. An east-end wall features a three-light ground-floor window under a dripmould, and two-light first-floor and attic windows with hoods. The windows contain small panes, casements, and central small sashes. A single-light window is found on the rear gable at first-floor and attic levels.

The west-end addition is a two-window range with a dripmould broken for the doorway, which has a flat stone hood. It features three-light and two-light windows on each floor, with cyma moulding (without hoods), and an upper two-light window that is hollow moulded, seemingly a reused element. A datestone, W S M 1765, is located between the upper windows.
