Description
Rookery Farm is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of limewashed brick and features black and red pantile roofs. The building has a lobby entrance type plan and includes a contemporary gabled outshut at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a facade consisting of three bays, each with 19th-century three-light casement windows. There is a panelled door with a simple doorcase located opposite an off-centre axial stack, along with a later gable-end stack. The rear outshut contains one boarded-up window beneath a rectangular hood-mould, a 17th-century three-light mullion window, an 18th-century three-light window with a metal casement, and a 19th-century two-light casement window. The outshut is a later addition.
