Description
The Rookery is a 17th-century timber-frame house. It has been rendered, with a steep roof covered in black glazed pantiles featuring gabled ends. A brick chimney stack is positioned off-centre. The house has two storeys and five windows, each with sash glazing bars. A modern porch, featuring fluted columns, has been added in front of the chimney stack. A one-story wing was added in the 19th century to the west end of the building.
