Description
Brook Cottage is a detached house dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a concrete tile roof and features cream-coloured brick stacks. The building has a rectangular plan with a later extension at the rear right.
The symmetrical facade is two stories high and has two windows, which are lit by 20th-century three-light wooden casements that likely replaced original stone-mullioned casements. A central plank door is set within a flat-chamfered surround, and the lintel bears a crudely incised date and initials 'T.Y. 1755', possibly indicating a change of ownership or the date of alterations. The extension at the rear also has 20th-century casements.
The gable ends are capped with roll-moulded stone and feature moulded kneelers, along with stone ridge tiling and gable-end stacks. Inside, there is a square-panelled timber-framed partition wall, intersecting beams with deep flat chamfers, and a spine beam that is narrower than the cross members. A large stone fireplace with a flat-chamfered surround includes a bread oven with a segmental-headed opening to the right, and there is an open fireplace with a bressumer beam in the adjoining downstairs room.
