Description
Rookley Farmhouse is a house dating from the late medieval period, with re-cladding and extensions added in the early 19th century. The building features rendered and brick walls topped with a tile roof. The front, facing southeast, has two storeys and two-and-a-quarter windows. The hipped roof extends to a low eaves above a south-side outshot and has a lower eaves on the early 19th-century north side, which includes a brick dentil eaves. The south side is roughly plastered, while the north side is finished in painted brickwork. The windows include sashes, with one Yorkshire sliding sash located in the upper part of the north side. There is a four-panelled door set within a lightly-framed open porch. The north elevation, from the early 19th century, features two windows—upper Yorkshire sashes and lower casements—and connects to a single-storeyed service wing. Inside, the heavy frame of the original building is exposed.
