Description
Brockwoodlees is a farmhouse that dates from the late 18th to early 19th century, although it includes some earlier materials. The building is two stories high and has three bays, with a U-shaped steading located at the rear to the west. It is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings, and the roofs are covered with graded slates.
On the east elevation of the house, there is a painted narrow central doorpiece featuring cavetto reveals, a fluted frieze with urns, and a modillion cornice. The door is faced with a plywood sheet and has a cast-iron knocker and fanlight. The windows are sash style with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The house also features an eaves course, cornice, straight skews, and corniced end stacks, along with a low piended southern wing.
Inside, the house has six-panelled doors set in architraves and retains some original chimneypieces. One room on the southeast ground floor is accessed through a curved corner.
The steading consists of three ranges surrounding a courtyard, which is walled to the east. There are additional ranges and a tall haybarn to the south and west. The northern range includes a tall long barn from the mid-18th century, featuring slit ventilators and a blocked depressed-arched wide opening at the north, which is partly obscured by a square-ended horsemill. This range also has secondary work with stugged red ashlar dressings and a forestair leading to the courtyard. The simpler southern and western ranges have louvred roof ventilators.
