Rockley House And Attached Outbuildings

Rockley House is a house with attached outbuildings, dating to 1826 with later 19th-century additions. It is constructed of red brick with slate roofs. The main house is an early 19th-century building with a hipped roof, featuring single red brick stacks, a raised eaves band, and a plinth. It has two storeys and three bays, with a central doorway containing a six-panel door and a traceried overlight. A porch with a concave, hipped, half-conical lead roof and a moulded cornice is above the doorway, supported by clustered shaft columns and dosserets decorated with roundels. The porch arches have fluted keyblocks and trellis spandrels decorated with trefoils, with the front arch featuring festoons. A single canted bay is to the left, mirroring the porch roof, and features a modillion cornice supported on brackets. The windows consist of glazing bar sashes with moulded frames and keystones, with an elliptical arch above the doorway. A Guardian Insurance plaque is above the doorway. To the right is a late 19th-century red brick wing with a hipped slate roof and a single red brick stack. This wing has two storeys and three bays, including a small fixed light and two glazing bar sashes, all with keystones. Further red brick wings extend from the rear, leading to single-storey wings which form a quadrangular paved courtyard and incorporate a coach house. The coach house has pantile roofs; the central bay is gabled, while the outer bays are hipped. It features dentil eaves and an open pediment in the gable created by dentil bands. The coach house has a slightly projecting central bay with two storeys plus an attic, flanked by single-storey bays. It has doorways with double plank doors and iron hinges, all beneath elliptical arches with keystones. Above the doorways is a single glazing bar sash under a segmental arch with a keystone. A recessed round panel dated 1826 is set within the pediment.
