Rookwith House

Rookwith House is a late 18th-century farmhouse constructed of ashlar stone, featuring a pantile and graduated stone slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower two-storey, two-bay wing set back to the right. The main house has a central 20th-century door framed by a stone surround with Doric pilasters on plinths, which support a frieze that is reeded in the upper half, along with a cornice and blocking course. On either side of the door are sash windows with glazing bars in the upper half. The first floor also has sash windows, all of which have stone cills and stone cill-like lintels. The house features shaped kneelers, stone coping, end stacks, and a graduated stone slate roof.

The right wing includes a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor to the left, and side-sliding sash windows on both floors to the right, with all windows having stone cills and flat stone arches. There is a first-floor band, and the wing has a pantile roof with an end stack to the right. Notably, pieces of medieval window tracery, likely from Jervaulx Abbey, can be seen in the gable end. Inside, the main bedroom features good neo-classical cornices and a fireplace, along with a dog-leg staircase that has a round-arched stair window.
