Brook House

Brook House is a two-storey house featuring colourwashed roughcast and colourwashed slate-hanging, topped with slate roofs and roughcast end stacks. The rear range has a large square external east stack and a smaller west stack, along with an outshut at the back. To the left of the early 19th-century front addition, there is a one-window range of 20th-century windows. The front addition has its own roof, with slate hanging remaining only on the east wall, as it was previously on the front and west end as well. There are two small roughcast end stacks. A large two-storey bay window from around 1900 features double 2-light windows with toplights on each floor and a corniced flat top. A 20th-century conservatory is located on the east end.

Access to the ground floor is through a door at the east end of the rear range from the conservatory, with a window above it. Attached to the east of the rear range is a lower two-storey cottage with a colourwashed rubble south front, which includes a door and one window below, and one window above. The east stack has been renewed in the 20th century, and there is a parallel rear range with a similar east stack. At the west end of the original range, there is an outbuilding connected to another southwest outbuilding, which is linked by a rubble wall back to the house, creating a small enclosed courtyard.

Inside, the west end fireplace is now obscured but measures about 2 meters square. The rear rooms contain wall cupboards or recesses in the original window openings. The northeast room features a south wall cupboard with panelled doors, arch-headed fielding, and a fine east wall curved shelf recess with concave curved shelves, a panelled back, and a shell head. There is 19th-century boarded panelling, an early 19th-century pine fireplace surround, and an early to mid-19th-century Gothic cast-iron insert with a late 18th or early 19th-century firegrate that has been moved from an upper room. The central staircase, dating from the early 19th century, has an open string with scrolled tread ends, stick balusters, and column newels. The first-floor rear range features fielded 2-panel doors. The added front range contains one room on each floor, with the first-floor room showcasing early 19th-century details on a 6-panel door, cornice, and the sides of the added bay window, along with an early 19th-century pine fireplace. The loft of the rear range appears to have four heavy collar trusses, with the collars slightly cranked and dovetail-lapped. The ground floor room includes a fine later 19th-century cast-iron fireplace adorned with patterned tiles.
