Description
Brougham House is a house dated 1794, as noted on the rainwater head, with a Victorian scullery added at the rear. The exterior features coursed rubble with incised stucco and chamfered quoins on the front. It has a graduated slate roof with stone copings, kneelers, and rendered end chimneys. The house is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. There is a single window on either side of a six-panelled door that has a semicircular fanlight above it; the stone surround includes a projecting keystone. On the first floor, there are three windows, all of which are 16-paned sashes.
Inside, the house retains six-panelled doors, dado rails, alcove cupboards, and some 19th-century fireplaces. The original staircase is present, featuring a 16-paned sash window at the half-landing, which has internal panelled shutters and a shouldered wooden surround. A moulded ogee arch springs from the top corners of the window frame, ending in a scallop shell finial. The landing has a polygonal termination with rooms opening off each face, and the ceiling features a Corinthian cornice and a large foliate rose above the stairs.
