Description
Rokeles Hall is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with a significant refronting in the mid-18th century. The building is constructed of brick, with a black pantiled roof. It is two storeys and has an attic, originally comprising nine bays, though now showing five. The central three bays project forward beneath a pediment which slopes to meet the roof. A late-19th-century square porch and renewed sash windows with horns flank the central bays. All facade windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath gauged skewback arches. The eaves cornice has dentilled modillions and rises over the pediment. The roof is gabled, with two dormers each featuring a pediment and sash window. Parapets top the gable ends, resting on kneelers. Renewed 17th-century stack terminals are present to the north and south, with a 19th-century stack located to the left of the centre. A north gable wall is of flint. A blocked, pedimented window is visible on the ground floor, with a 20th-century casement. Two smaller 20th-century casements are located on the first floor, set beneath 17th-century pediments below a central panel featuring pargetting and the initials "T.S." (Thomas Scott). A Dutch gable sits above the panel.
