Description
Brook Cottage is a house with probable origins in the 17th century, which has been altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a 20th-century plain tile roof. The building has a T-shape plan and is two storeys high. The front has a two-window range of 19th-century casements beneath wooden lintels, and a central 20th-century door, also under a wooden lintel. The left corner of the house is corbelled and chamfered. There are brick and stone stacks at both ends, and a similar wing at the rear.
Inside, the room to the right of the entrance contains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressuaer and stop-chamfered spine beams. It is said that the house was built using masonry from a chantry chapel that once stood in the churchyard of the Church of St. Nicholas. There is minor evidence of raised masonry.
