Ancillary Building 30 Metres East of Rook Hall Farmhouse

This is an ancillary building located 30 metres east of Rook Hall Farmhouse, dating from around 1600. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and plastered, with some exposed framing, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building has four bays aligned northwest to southeast and stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey lean-to extension featuring a corrugated iron roof at the northwest end.

The northeast elevation, facing the street, is entirely plastered and has no openings. The southwest elevation includes three plain boarded doors and two boarded loading doors on the upper storey. The lower storey is weatherboarded, while the upper storey is plastered with exposed framing. The structure features jowled posts and curved 'Suffolk' braces that are trenched outside the studding, along with chisel-cut carpenters' marks. The original binding beams and plain joists are present in the northeast half, while the southwest half was originally unfloored. The roof is a clasped purlin type.
