Description
Rockley's Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century, with extensions added in the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing southwest, with a central stack that creates a lobby-entrance. At the rear, there is an extension made of painted brick, featuring an axial stack and a half-hipped end, along with additional 20th-century extensions to the left and rear. The building is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century splayed bays with sash windows. The first floor has three 18th-century casements set in gabled dormers. The central entrance features a six-panel door topped by a simple open pediment. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops.
