Rookhurst

Rookhurst is a house that has been converted into a hotel, with parts dating from 1734 and others from around 1870. The later section was built for Henry Whaley, a barrister. The building has three storeys on one side and two on the other, featuring a total of four first-floor windows on the left and one on the right. The exterior includes quoins and is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof on the left three bays, while the right side has a Westmorland slate roof.

The older section on the left has two ground-floor 2-light mullion windows with drip-moulds, and a 2-light chamfered mullion window also with a drip-mould. On the first floor, there are 2-light windows with architraves and chamfered mullions, two of which have drip-moulds. The second floor has three single-light 4-pane casement windows set in architraves, and there is an end stack on the left side.

The 19th-century section features a projecting two-storey porch with a board door that has ornamental hinges, set within a doorway that has a carved border and an armorial shield above it. On the first floor, there is a prominent 6-light bay window with trefoil tracery and transoms, topped with a pyramidal roof. To the right of the porch, there is a single-light window with trefoil tracery and a label on the ground floor, with a blank wall above it. Eaves stacks flank the porch, and the right return has a two-storey bay window below a gable with bargeboards. There is also a hidden doorway with an 18th-century date associated with Reverend J Alderson.
