Roke House

Roke House is a house with origins in the 16th century, likely altered in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone with a thatched roof. Originally planned as a two-unit dwelling, it now has a three-window front. The windows are 19th-century casements with wood lintels, although the first-floor centre window is a 20th-century replacement. The central entrance features a four-panelled door with glazing, sheltered by a 19th-century gabled hood. A two-stage ashlar buttress is located on the far right, and a chamfered plinth runs along the base. The ashlar gable parapet on the left side has a trefoil moulding to the gablet at the kneeler. The roof is served by rebuilt brick stacks. A 20th-century extension has been added to the rear. Inside, the room to the left contains an open fireplace with a bressumer and remnants of a bread oven; a moulded beam is visible above the fireplace and along the line of the original hall wall. A 19th-century staircase, distinguished by its broad stick balusters, is also present.
