Description
Brookfield House is an L-plan, three-storey building constructed from coursed rubble, featuring a plinth and a later cross range to the left. It has a slate roof with rubble end chimney stacks and weathercoursing on the left side. The front has recessed three-light casement windows with concrete lintels and an off-centre four-panel door to the left, which is sheltered by a modern hood. To the left, there is a 19th-century gable-ended, one-window parallel rubble range that projects forward, featuring wide eaves, a horned sash window, and a hopper window on the front. The right-hand gable end has wave-ornamented bargeboards and a finial, above an attached hipped roof Victorian Schoolroom, which is screened from the front by a brick wall. The two-storey rear has a steep roof pitch and a central dormer with a sash window, along with some small pane sashes to the left.
To the left, a rubble wall encloses the stable courtyard, which includes a coursed rubble gable-ended coach house and stables that are splayed back to the rear and adjoin the former corn mill.
Inside, the house features a broad entrance hall with an exposed timber frame and post and panel partitions. It has massive stop-chamfered cross beams, with the outer beams showing signs of having supported screens. There is a timber lintel above the fireplace and boarded shutters. A fine dog-leg staircase has flat pierced balusters (except on the top landing), square newels with chamfered edges, and finials. A mezzanine floor to the right was added following the raising of the dining room ceiling. The attic has boarded doors and retains original A-frame roof trusses with massive purlins.
