Brookland Hall (now an independent school for boys) was a large gentry house built in 1867 for Mrs Curling of Maesmawr Hall, by W.H.Hill, architect of Shrewsbury. It is a well-preserved and robustly detailed country house in the French manner, and one of the few remaining works of this little known architect.

It is constructed of yellow brick with sandstone dressings, and having steeply pitched slate roofs, irregular and picturesque in the French style. It is of two storeys, rising to 3 in the set-forward entrance block. The entrance porch is raised over steps, of 2 wide bays, on late Romanesque style columns and moulded and billetted round arches.
