Description

The Brow is a 19th-century building rendered over brick, featuring shallow pitched hipped slate roofs with a notable overhang. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range with a central entrance located in a projecting porch. The building has an almost square plan, with a mid-19th-century extension that projects from the east gable return and a lower service wing at the rear. The central bay is slightly advanced and includes an entrance in an ashlar Tuscan portico porch, which is part of a single-storey extension with a roof. This porch has sidelights, and to the right-hand room, there is a wider mullioned and transomed window. This may indicate that an earlier porch was encased during remodelling. The left-hand bay also features a mullioned and transomed window, while the three upper windows are casements. All windows have stressed moulded architraves, drop-ended hood moulds, and small panes. The wide gable that advances from the east return has a central stack, with deep six-pane sash windows flanking it on each floor.
