The Rookery

The Rookery, formerly known as Kenmure House, is a house built in the late 17th century with alterations made in the mid 18th century. It features slobbered rubble with painted stone dressings and a slate roof, which has stone slates at the rear. The building is two storeys high and has three bays.

The central entrance is likely framed by a mid-18th century Gibbs surround, with an imitation keystone carved on the lintel and a cornice above. On the ground floor, there are two windows that are double chamfered and mullioned; these were originally four-light windows but have been altered to two-light. The upper floor has two three-light double chamfered mullioned windows flanking a similar central window, which is also two-light. All the windows have 20th-century casements.

The house has gable end stacks, and the left-hand return indicates that the roof was heightened when the 17th-century windows were rearranged. There is a single-light window on the ground floor with a chamfered surround and a basket-arched head. The right-hand return contains a three-light double chamfered window with cavetto mullions and square stools. Additionally, there are remains of a former four-light window, now a two-light double chamfered window, located in the rear outshut under a catslide roof.
