This vacant and boarded-up house is “Brook House”, 17 Croft Road. I was able to download the agents’ brochure which shows it occupied and looking exceptionally desirable. The brochure describes it, inter alia, as “Set well back from Croft Road on an extensive site ‘Brook House’ oozes character and has retained many of its original features including: cornice ceilings, ornate centre roses, panelled doors, high ceilings, sash windows and storm shutters”. Whatever the story it now has a “sold” sign Image
