Description
Brookside is a house, formerly the residence of a miller associated with a nearby corn mill. It was built between 1853 and 1854 for Philip Howard of Corby Castle. The house is constructed of dressed red sandstone with a hipped slate roof and stone chimney stacks. It has two storeys and three bays. Features include a plinth course, raised quoins, pilaster strips around the entrance, a plain entablature, a moulded cornice with console brackets, and a four-panel door with a glazed fanlight. A central gabled dormer window sits just below the eaves. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars and pilaster strips. A shaped string course runs below the eaves. A projecting, quoined chimney stack in the west wall bears the Howard coat-of-arms and the initials "P.E.H.H." One date, 1853, is visible, and another, 1854, is inscribed on a panel above a window.
