Description
Rookery Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, with later extensions. It features a timber frame with brick infill and a plain tiled roof, and it stands two storeys high. The entrance front consists of seven by two cells of small framing, with angle braces to the right and to the right of the third post from the left. There is a doorway on the right side, along with two 2-light casement windows on the ground floor to the right, and a single-light window on the left. The first floor has two 3-light raking dormer windows from the 19th century. To the left of the main structure is a later 17th-century brick addition, which is painted to resemble timber framing on the outside but retains small framing on the internal walls. To the right, there is a 20th-century addition.
