Description
The Brooklands, including the service range and linking wall, is a house that now serves as a residential home for the elderly. It was built in the late 18th century, altered in the 19th century, and has a 20th-century addition. The building features coursed sandstone, some stucco, and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof.
The exterior is three storeys high with three five-window ranges, a single-storey porch, and a two-storey, one-bay side wing connected to a lower L-shaped service range around a small yard. The garden front has raised quoins, wedge lintels, and a plinth beneath tall 2/2 sash windows. The first floor includes a band and sill band to 2/2 sashes, with the central window featuring an architrave and cornice on consoles. The second floor has two casements and three 3/3 sashes with projecting sills, with the central window also having an architrave. A cornice and blocking course create a parapet for the hipped roof, which has rolled-lead ridges and ashlar end stacks.
On the entrance front, there is a three-window range with chamfered quoins leading to an ashlar porch that has a part-glazed door flanked by mullions and sidelights. The porch has a cornice and blocking course above its flat roof. To the left, a taller projection features a tripartite sash window arranged as 1/1:2/2:1/1, with consoles supporting the lintel. Above this, there are 6/6 and 3/3 sashes, while bay three is blind. The side wing on the left has 8/8 and 6/6 sashes, with a band beneath a stepped parapet. The service wing on the far left has a convex two-storey end wall with a coal cellar hatch beneath two 6/3 sashes, and a coped parapet with an ashlar stack set back on the left.
A coped wall with a gateway links to the main house and encloses a small inner yard, which is surrounded on two sides by lean-tos against an L-shaped outer wall. The interior has not been fully inspected, but original staircases remain. The house and part of the rear service wing, previously known as the Cottage adjoining Brooklands, were first listed on May 20, 1974.
