Description
Rookery Farmhouse is a house dated 1758, indicated by a terracotta tablet. It features another tablet with the initials IW/EW. The building is constructed of red and vitreous brick, with red brick window surrounds and moulded eaves. The left gable is made of coursed rubble stone. It has an old tile roof with flanking brick chimneys and is designed in an L-plan. The house has two storeys and an attic, comprising three bays. The 20th-century windows are barred wooden casements, with three-light windows flanking a two-light window. The ground floor left window has a segmental head, while the right window has a cambered head. The first-floor windows feature wooden lintels. There is a central board door with a flat wooden hood, and attic casements are located in the gables. A lean-to structure is present in the rear angle.
