Description
Rookery Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. The building is rendered and features a tile and slate roof with coped verges and three rendered chimney stacks. It has a three-unit and cross-passage plan, is single storey with an attic, and consists of four bays. The windows are 2-light casements with glazing bars, and the upper windows are located in dormer gables. The door opening to the third bay from the left has a ribbed and glazed door set in a chamfered stone surround, and there is a 19th-century ashlar gabled porch. At the rear, there is a two-storey cheese room that is at right angles to the house and connected by an arched opening. Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered and stopped ceiling beams, and there is a blocked fireplace in the left ground floor room. The roof structure includes two pairs of jointed crucks with cranked collars and some windbracing.
