Brooklyn

This is a house, representing an early 19th-century remodelling and expansion of a late 17th-century farmhouse. The front is built of stuccoed rubble, with a Welsh slate roof, while the rear range has a local slate roof. The house is double-depth, with the rear range incorporating the original 17th-century farmhouse. The front range features a symmetrical three-window facade, with stucco quoining and stone window surrounds. It has horned four-pane sash windows. The front door is surrounded by cyma and bolection mouldings to the cornice and architrave respectively, and has a raised panel door, with the upper panels now glazed. The rear range has a hipped roof and irregular fenestration; the first-floor windows there are notably tall, in the local 17th-century vernacular style, and have hornless 12 and 20-pane sash windows. The house now has an entrance at the rear. Inside the rear range, original flagstone floors and a door with HL hinges remain. There is an early 19th-century staircase with cantilevered half-Imperial treads, stick balusters, and turned and ramped handrails. Cornices and internal panelled shutters from the 19th century are found throughout the house, along with some early 19th-century fireplace surrounds, although many were replaced around 1900.
