Description

Mansion House is a former house that has been converted into offices. It is dated and inscribed over the entrance with "R. & L.B. 1686," referring to Rolland Barrow, the Rector of Brougham, and his wife. The building features painted rendered walls with an eaves cornice and raised quoins, set on a chamfered plinth, with all dressings made of grey-pink sandstone. The roof is covered with graduated greenslate and has 20th-century red sandstone chimney stacks.

The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of five bays. A central projecting enclosed stone porch has raised quoins and an open balustraded balcony above. There are 20th-century double doors set within a stone architrave that has a dated lintel. Above, there was originally a first-floor balcony door in a bolection architrave with a frieze inscribed with "1977," marking the date of restoration, under a swan-necked pediment on scrolled brackets, which is now filled with a 20th-century cross-mullioned window. The building has large two-light flat stone-mullioned windows in architraves that show signs of removed transoms, along with a cornice above. Smaller two-light windows are present in the attic.

The left return wall features small stone-surround windows, a larger two-light window, and a 19th-century attic window. The right return wall and the rear of the building retain nearly all of the original cross-mullioned windows. Inside, many original features remain despite the building being subdivided. A late 17th-century oak staircase with barley-twist balusters and a heavy moulded handrail is present, along with a segmental-arched stone fireplace in the front room beside a spiral stone staircase, suggesting that part of the earlier house has been incorporated into the current structure. There are 20th-century additions to the right and rear that are not of special interest.
