The Rookery

The Rookery is a house dating from the early 19th century, identified on the Ordnance Survey map as Rookery House. It is constructed from brick and flint, topped with tile and pantile roofs, and has an irregular plan. The facade features five bays and two storeys. The central bay, likely added in the late 19th century, projects under a pediment adorned with wooden dentils. It includes glazed double doors with horizontal glazing bars and an overlight, framed by a rubbed brick and terracotta surround with consoles supporting a scrolled broken pediment. There are side lights with horizontal glazing bars and horns, brick quoins, and a platband. The first-floor sash window has a terracotta shouldered architrave and also features glazing bars and horns. The rest of the facade has sashes with glazing bars, and there are gable-end stacks. The left gable wall is made of flint and has a datestone from 1603, while the right gable wall is flint with a brick platband. The rear parallel range is not of special interest.
