Rookery Lodge

Rookery Lodge is an estate office that was later converted into a house, built around 1896 by Smith and Brewer in the Arts and Crafts style. The building is square in shape, featuring a ground floor made of red brick and a first floor that is pebbledashed, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof and a central chimneystack. It has two storeys, an attic, and a semi-basement. Each corner of the building has a two-storey angled square bay, with Ipswich glazing on the upper floor and sash windows on the lower floor. The windows are arranged irregularly, with some featuring coloured glass.

The east front includes a gabled dormer with a casement window, a central first-floor casement, ground floor sashes, and a central porch window. The south side has one ground floor sash window and a doorcase that features a wooden cornice and brackets, along with a half-glazed door. On the west side, there is a central oculus on the first floor, three cambered-headed casements on the ground floor, and two round-headed arches leading to the semi-basement. This building was originally designed as an estate office for a company that purchased the Rookery estate, which was the birthplace of T. R. Malthus, for redevelopment.
