Description
Brook House is a villa built around 1850, constructed from limestone ashlar with a hipped Welsh slate roof and ashlar stacks. The building features a rectangular main range with a rear service wing and exhibits Italianate architectural style. It is two stories high and has a symmetrical front with three windows. The central entrance has a door with glazed vertical panels and a pilastered porch that includes consoles supporting the cornice. On either side of the door are triple plate glass sash windows with segmental heads and heavy moulded cornices with consoles.
On the first floor, there is a central double round-arched sash window with moulded capitals on the pilasters, flanked by triple sashes that also have round-arched heads and moulded capitals. A moulded cornice runs along the blocking course, which features three panels of pierced oval discs. The left side of the building has triple sashes with segmental heads, and within a conservatory, there is a two-light wooden casement to the left. The first floor includes a two-light flush mullioned casement to the left and a triple round-arched window to the right, which has blind sidelights and a central sash, along with a cornice above a plain blocking course. The right side has 16-pane sash windows.
The rear of the building includes a two-story service wing with flush mullioned sashes, and the main range's rear also features 16-pane sashes. The interior was not accessible during the survey in January 1987, but it is reported to retain original features such as stairs and joinery. Brook House is noted as a well-preserved example of an Italianate villa, likely built for a local industrial entrepreneur.
