Description

Brooklands is a house located on Combe Martin High Street, dating from around 1820. It is constructed of painted rendered stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable end brick stacks. The building has a symmetrical plan, consisting of two rooms deep, with the main front room on each side of a wide central stair hall. It stands two storeys tall with a basement and has three symmetrical bays, all fitted with 12-paned hornless sash windows. The entrance is marked by a Doric porch and a six-panelled door with an overlight.

Inside, there is a dog-log staircase illuminated by a round-arched rear window. The staircase has a shaped, continuous moulded handrail complemented by a decorative wrought iron balustrade. The 19th-century joinery and cornices are mostly intact, preserving the character of the interior.

Local climate

Brooklands sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 5 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
