Description
Brook Cottages is a pair of cottages dating from around the mid-17th century. They feature rendered rubble and cob walls with a gable-ended thatched roof. The cottages have a brick stack at the right gable end, an axial rubble stack, and a similar stack at the left gable end. Each cottage has a two-room plan, although No. 2 on the left may be the earlier of the two, with each room heated by an end stack.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-by-two window arrangement. No. 2 to the left has 19th-century two and three-light casements and a large thatched roof porch from the 18th or 19th century, which is supported by a catslide roof and has a 20th-century plank door behind it. No. 1 on the right has 20th-century one, two, and three-light casements, along with a stable-type door to the right of centre, also beneath a thatch hood.
The interior was inaccessible at the time of survey, but No. 1 is noted to have an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel in the right-hand room, while No. 2 features substantial ceiling beams, one of which is forked.
