Rookery House

Rookery House is a small country house dating from the 18th century, with a 17th-century north wing. The building is constructed of red brick with some blue bricks, featuring a hipped tiled roof, a rendered parapet, and a moulded brick modillion cornice. It stands two storeys high with an attic over a basement.

The south front has three bays of widely spaced sash windows set in reveals, with gauged brick flat arches above. The central bay projects under a triangular pediment that contains a circular recessed panel. The entrance features a door and flanking windows within a semicircular arched shallow recess, adorned with a Gibbs door surround and a dentil pediment made of painted wood that imitates masonry. Six stone steps lead up to the entrance.

On the return elevations, there is a single bay of sash windows in a 19th-century one-storey west wing, which has a parapet and cornice. The south side has two sash windows, while the north side features a central sash door with flanking panels. The north wing is two storeys tall, built of brick with a slate roof, and has three upper sash windows with thick glazing bars in the early 18th-century style.

Further north, the 17th-century timber-framed wing has brick infill and a tiled roof, with one old chimney on the west side and a small wooden cupola on the ridge. This wing has casement windows and a door in the angle with the main house, which has a pedimented hood. The north front of the main house includes a tiled lean-to on the ground floor, with an upper window featuring gothic pattern glazing.

Inside, the 17th-century wing has chamfered beams and an open fireplace, while the main house retains an original 18th-century staircase and fireplaces.
