Description
Brook Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 17th century and the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone, with part of the facade featuring limestone ashlar, and has a Collyweston slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The main front consists of four bays, with a three-window range on the left featuring late 18th to early 19th century sash windows under gauged stone heads. The centre window on the first floor is blind. There is a four-panel, part-glazed door located between the windows, also under a similar stone head. A raised band runs between the floors, and there are two small blocked windows to the right. The 17th-century gable on the far right has a four-light, ovolo-moulded stone-mullion window with a king mullion on the first floor. To the left of this range, there are two hipped roof dormers with casement windows. The left gable features ashlar parapets and stacks at the ends.
The elevation facing the road has a two-window range of three-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion windows on the ground floor, with two 19th-century style casements on the first floor; the left casement has a Lincolnshire dormer head. This elevation also has ashlar gable parapets with reeded kneelers and an ashlar stack at the end. The rear elevation includes lean-to extensions and a 19th-century two-storey, two-bay stable or coach house range attached to the right, which now forms part of the house and has a flight of external steps leading to the first floor.
Inside, the kitchen in the cross wing features a large open fireplace with a bressumer and a winder stair alongside it. There are some plank doors with strap hinges, and the main staircase is from the late 18th to early 19th century, featuring a stick balustrade.
