Rockery Cottage

Rockery Cottage is a 17th-century house located in Priest Hutton. It features pebbledashed rubble with a steep slate roof and has a two-unit plan with gable stacks. The original central entrance has been replaced by a modern extension on the left-hand gable. The house is two storeys high, with three windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor. All windows are modern with plain reveals, except for the left-hand ground-floor window, which is a three-light design with rebated and chamfered mullions. The left-hand chimney cap is round and sits on a square base supported by a wooden corbelled frame beneath the apex. At the rear, there are later lean-to extensions and windows with plain reveals.

Inside, the left-hand room features a former firehood bressumer and an 18th-century moulded shouldered fireplace with a moulded cornice mantel. A spiral staircase made of old wood rises from this room. In the partition wall between the two units on the first floor, an upper cruck can be seen rising from a ground-floor ceiling beam, which has a light collar and redundant halvings, indicating it has been reused. The eaves have been raised, and it is noted that the house was thatched within living memory.
