Brook Hill

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1800, with three-bay single-storey extension to the east elevation. Hipped slate roof with cut limestone chimneystacks and overhanging eaves. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack to extension. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having limestone sills. Square-headed opening with timber panelled half-glazed door having decoratively glazed overlight. Rubble limestone walls to gardens with round brick-arched entrance. Pair of square profile rendered gate piers having carved caps to north no longer in use.

This handsome house stands prominently sited in mature grounds. Retaining its original form and proportions, the unadorned simplicity and clarity of the architecture is immediately apparent. The adjacent walls and the rendered piers of its former entrance add further interest and context to the site.
