Description

Rookery Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse with a basic two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The house is timber-framed and roughcast, with a clay pantile roof. It features an internal chimney-stack with a plain, rebuilt red brick shaft. Modern 3-light casement windows and a 20th-century plank door are located at the right end. A single-storey brick extension projects from the left end, featuring a 19th-century 3-light mullion-and-transome window with a segmental arch to its frame and opening.

The interior of the main house has exposed timber framing across 5 bays. On the ground floor, there is a blocked 4-light original window with hollow-chamfered mullions, and a similar blocked 3-light window on the upper floor. The ground-floor ceiling has original beams and joists with a plain chamfer and stepped stops, while the upper ceiling is original. The main posts are long and jowled, without braces. A wallplate features a face-halved and bladed scarf joint. The roof has not been examined.
