The house is a timber framed building, with whitewashed elevations to the front and elevations of exposed timber with plaster infilling to the rear, all under a clay tile roof.
Internally, the house has many period features and a charming atmosphere. Brook House has been further improved and extended by the present owner and has well presented accommodation, arranged over three floors. Brook House has the added advantage of planning permission, which is still current, to convert the double garage and games room into a separate annexe.
Features of note include a magnificent vaulted ceiling in the sitting room and inglenook fireplaces in the drawing room and dining room, one with a wood burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room has a brick floor, a good range of cream fronted units, with hardwood work surfaces, and a casement door giving access to the garden. Other features of note include many exposed ceiling and wall timbers, oak latch doors, and a pretty south facing bay window in the dining room with a window seat.

The house is approached from the lane via a brick paved driveway, which leads to a parking area adjacent to the garages. From the parking area a gate, set in a honeysuckle covered pergola, gives access to the garden and from which a brick path, bordered by flower beds, leads to the front door.
Brook House is surrounded by a very attractive mature and sheltered garden with a high degree of privacy. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with some well stocked beds and interspersed with an interesting variety of trees and shrubs, including a tulip tree, rhododendrons, and a mature fig. To the rear of the house is a paved sitting area with an open sided wooden summer house. A short distance to the south side of the house is a brick built wine store.
