Rookery Farmhouse

Rookery Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and features a three-cell lobby entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a Roman pantiled roof that was once thatched. There is an axial chimney made of red and buff bricks, with the shaft rebuilt in the 19th century. The windows are 19th-century casements with three lights, and those on the ground floor have transoms.

The early 19th-century entrance porch has a six-panelled door, with the upper panels glazed. It features a fluted architrave with paterae, a slated roof with undulating bargeboards, and a spike finial, along with lattice piers flanking the entrance.

At the rear, there is a long service wing. The one-and-a-half storey rear range is likely from the 17th century and has a wind-braced clasped purlin roof. The higher central section may be an 18th-century link to the main house, but it retains a good first-floor structure from around 1600. The internal framing is unmoulded and exposed.
