Description

Rookery Farmhouse is a building that likely dates back to the 17th century. It features a timber-frame structure that is plastered, with a thatched roof and gabled ends. The farmhouse is a long range, consisting of two storeys and an attic, with attic windows located in the gable ends. There are six widely spaced windows, which include two, three, and four-light casements. A 19th-century gabled porch is present, along with brick chimney stacks.
