Description

Brocklehirst House is a later 19th-century, 2-storey house that was re-modelled and extended in the early 20th century. It features an irregular plan and an Italianate entrance tower. The building is constructed of coursed whinstone rubble with contrasting polished ashlar dressings. Notable architectural details include overhanging eaves, decorative pierced bargeboards, and raised window surrounds.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has nine bays and includes a three-stage entrance tower. The ground level features an advanced round-arched, pilastered, and balustraded open porch with a timber panelled door and a fanlight above. The second stage has a bipartite window, while the third stage is adorned with three round-headed windows on all faces. The outer bays are advanced gabled, and there is a bay to the left of centre. Additionally, there is a former segmental-arched doorway that has been converted into a window in the penultimate bay to the left.

The house has 2-pane timber sash and case windows, grey slate roofs, corniced ridge stacks, and moulded octagonal chimney cans. There are three flights of stone steps leading from the lawn to the entrance, aligned with the entrance itself.
