Brookfield Manor

Brookfield Manor is a small country house built around 1825, which incorporates the remains of an earlier house and was extended in 1870. The building is constructed from regularly coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings, featuring moulded copings on the gables, intermediate and end ashlar ridge stacks, and a slated roof. The plan is irregular, with gabled projections on the northeast and southwest elevations, and two tall turrets topped with embattled parapets, along with a later two-storey range extending to the southwest.

The southeast elevation has two storeys and six bays, with the main entrance located in a three-bay projection that advances from the elevation. The three bays to the southwest are beneath an embattled parapet, with the end bay forming part of the canted end of the projecting range. The first floor features sash windows with hoodmoulds and moulded surrounds, while below, there are tall, full-height windows of mullion and transom design, also beneath hoodmoulds with carved stops. The advanced entrance bay has a blind niche at the gable apex above a 2-light chamfer mullion window, which is set beneath a hoodmould with stops. A plain band course at the first floor connects to a stepped hoodmould over the main doorway, which has double doors in a moulded surround with a Tudor arched head.

On the southwest side wall of the advanced bay, there is a tall turret with an embattled parapet, and a small octagonal turret at the angle with the main range, also featuring an embattled parapet. The remaining two bays on the northeast appear to be earlier and include a blocked doorway with a cambered lintel dated 1656. Inserted windows in this section are of 2-light design, with chamfered mullions below hoodmoulds with stops, and all windows are fitted with Gothic glazing. The northwest elevation features a tall square turret that rises from a corbelled base at the first floor, supported by a low buttress.
