Description
Brooklands is a house dating from the late 17th century. It features thick painted roughcast walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and ball finials, along with painted roughcast chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and five bays of double span. The entrance includes a panelled door set within a pedimented doorcase. The windows are 20th-century casements set in original painted stone surrounds, which likely indicate that they were once cross-mullion windows. The right side of the house has an external stepped chimney stack. Inside, the principal room contains a late 18th-century niche with flanking panelled cupboards. The owner notes that a quoin datestone originally had a 17th-century date, but it has since weathered away. Brooklands has been home to a succession of sea captains.
