Why it mattered
Brooklands — Castleconnell matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This house is one of a pair of houses, whose modest grandeur is accentuated by the continuous line of cast-iron ridge crestings and façades of balanced proportions. This building is the most intact of the pair, retaining its timber sash windows, ornate fanlight and sidelights which help to preserve the original character of the site. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
