Rocklyn And Wall To North-East Fronting Station Road

Rocklyn is a house dating from the early 17th century, rendered over random rubble with a slate roof and brick stacks. It features a main three-cell block that faces Station Road to the west, with a two-cell late addition to the east and an entrance on the south front. The building is two storeys high and has one bay on the left and two bays on the right. The windows are primarily 20th-century three-light leaded casements, except for an unusual seven-light oriel window on carved consoles below the gable end, and a single light window above a gabled 20th-century porch to the right. The west return has irregularly placed 20th-century fenestration.

Inside, the central room has a four-compartment hollow chamfer ceiling with plaster ovals and a frieze. A staircase turret with a blocked window rises to the east, and there is a moulded lintel above the fireplace on the south wall, which backs onto a smaller fireplace with painted floral decoration in the reveals. The building features four pointed arch doorways, one with a moulded head and two with chamfered lintels. The roof was replaced in the 20th century.

Adjoining the house is a red sandstone random rubble wall with brick coping to the northeast, which sweeps up at the northern end, fronting Station Road. Rocklyn served as an inn for many years and was likely connected at first-floor level to buildings to the east, which were not viewed. An early 19th-century watercolour of the Rock Inn depicting this arrangement is included in H. L. Maynard's book, "The Crown Manor and Burgh of Milverton," published in 1939.
