Rookwood Cottage And Holly Cottage

Rookwood Cottage and Holly Cottage is a house, now divided into two houses, dating from the 17th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, standing two storeys high with a steep half-hipped roof made of old red tiles and a rear outshut under a catslide roof. The building consists of two houses that are each two rooms wide, with a central chimney for each. There are four windows and doors located next to the front corners. The chimneys rise through the front slope of the roof, with one positioned by the ridge and the other further down the slope. It was likely originally constructed as a three-unit house with an old central chimney at the southern end, and a second chimney was added in the cross passage when it was converted into two houses. The property does not appear on the Clintons Estate map from 1588.
