What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1880. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with quarry glazed windows and stone sills. Timber matchboard door with flanking quarry glazed sidelight. Set back from street behind hedge, and flanked by roughly dressed limestone walls.
A picturesque house, that makes a notable contribution to the streetscape. Historic maps indicate that there were once paths linking this building to both the former Brookfield House to the north-east and to the former Brookfield Chemical Works to the north-west. It may have been built as accommodation for a worker at one of the two related sites. Features such as the quarry glazed windows add to its character and charm.
