Description

Rookery Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid-17th century and has had later additions and alterations. The structure is timber framed with painted brick infill and features a corrugated iron roof. It is one storey with an attic and appears to consist of three framed bays. The framing includes square panels, with three extending from the cill to the wall-plate at the front, supported by V-struts from the collar and long straight tension braces at the right gable end. Some of the framing has been partly replaced by brick, and the exterior is painted black and white to imitate traditional timber framing. The back wall has a mixture of square and rectangular panels.

There are three casement windows on the ground floor; the left window is from the 19th century, while the centre and right windows are from the 20th century, with 19th-century raking eaves dormers directly above the left and centre windows. To the left, there is a 20th-century boarded door, with another boarded door further to the left. A red brick ridge stack is located immediately to the left of centre. The interior was not fully inspected during the resurvey in February 1986, but it is likely to be of interest.
