The Rookery (Including Screen Walls)

The Rookery is a house with a 17th century core that has undergone later alterations in the 18th century, including the addition of a stair and a new roof, as well as an early 19th century facade and a 19th century rear wing. The front facade is made of white brick, while the rear is constructed from red brick, with mid-20th century pebbledash render applied to the gable ends. The roof is pantiled, hipped to the right, and features glazed black tiles at the front. The building has two storeys and an attic, with four inset sash windows that have glazing bars and are set under flat brick arches; the two central bays are slightly recessed. There is a six-panel raised and fielded door with a mid-20th century pedimented doorcase. A flat parapet runs around the right-hand gable end. The house has an internal stack and a gable end stack on the left. The left gable end features a first-floor moulded brick string course, which has been rendered over.

The property includes curved screen walls made of red brick, each with a semi-circular arched opening and ending in a square pier topped with a stone ball finial. Inside, there is a well-crafted dog-leg closed-string stair with slender turned balusters and a panelled dado. The main ground floor room has exposed joisting.
