Description
The building is a house, now functioning as a surgery, located on Cavendish Street in Lower Allithwaite. It was originally listed as Brook House on March 25, 1970. The structure dates back to 1667, as indicated by a court cupboard with a frieze that reads "E M 1667." It is constructed of roughcast stone and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays. Most of the windows are casements, but the second bay on the ground floor has small-paned fixed glazing with an opening light. The fourth bay on the ground floor contains two windows, one of which was originally an entrance. There are two entrances: the first bay features a wide-boarded door with a glazed panel, while the third bay has a half-glazed door. The building has two gable end stacks, with the right one truncated, and a cross-axial stack. The left return has three small windows, and the rear includes various outshuts. Inside, there is a court cupboard and a fireplace with a corbelled lintel and crane. One room has panelling that may date from the early 20th century.

Surgery sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,590 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
