Description
Rookery Farm Cottages are farm cottages dating from around 1700. They are built in Flemish bond with red stretchers and black header brickwork, topped by a red and black glazed pantiled roof. The cottages are single storey with attics and feature four skew-backed ground floor arches made of red and black brick, which indicate the original door and window openings. These openings have been blocked and replaced with 19th-century arches for 20th-century doors and windows for each cottage. The central arch is filled with two 20th-century casements. The cottages have a brick plinth, a dentil eaves cornice, and coped brick parapet gables, along with two end stacks. The steeply pitched roof includes three dormers, and the gables have an attic-level platband and tumbling.
