Description
Rookery House is a house dated 1792, with an extension added around 1840. It is constructed of squared rubble stone and features slate roofs. The original part of the house is two storeys high and has a double front with coped gables and end stacks. It has sixteen-pane sash windows with timber lintels, and the central doorway has been converted into a window, featuring a timber doorcase with panelled piers, fluted entablature sections above, and an open pediment. A date plaque reading "R A 1792" is positioned above the doorway. The house has flush quoins and a parallel rear range. Attached to the west end is the 1840 block, which has a low-pitched hipped eaves roof and two octagonal stacks on the west side. The south front has a recessed central bay, with a drip course that steps as a hoodmould over a ground floor French window and a first floor window, both of which have hoodmoulds and a sill course.
