The Rookery

The Rookery is a house dating from the mid-18th century, constructed of rough rendered rubble stone with a stone-tiled roof and coped gables. It features end stacks. The original facade has a three-window arrangement, incorporating two-light flush mullion windows with cyma moulding. A central Roman Doric columned doorcase with a pediment sits above the entrance, although the door itself is 20th century. One of the columns is inscribed with the initials “EF 1792”. A wing to the left has a stack at its east end, a 19th-century window on the upper level, and a ground-floor three-light mullion window. A lean-to has been added to the west side, incorporating a gable above the door and a reused carved relief of an angel.

The south front is formal, built of ashlar stone, and features two hipped gables and coved eaves. It has a three-window arrangement with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. A one-storey curved bow with sash windows is located on the ground floor to the right, while a 12-pane sash window is positioned to the left. Set back to the right is a single-window range with a similar hipped roof, a coved cornice, and a 12-pane upper window.
