Description
Rock Nest is a 2½-storey house that was originally two dwellings, which are not quite aligned but are roofed as a single range. At the left end, there is a lofted stable and cart house that is set back. The front of the house is pebble-dashed, while the rear is made of rubble stone, and it has a slate roof with pebble-dashed chimney stacks.
The front elevation features three distinct sections. In the center, there is a 6-panel door surrounded by scribed render, flanked by tripartite hornless 12-pane sash windows. Above the entrance, the upper storey has cambered 2-pane sash windows on either side of a 12-pane hornless sash window.
On the left side, there is a boarded door with a glazed panel beneath a cambered head, flanked by a narrow window on the right and a narrow cambered 8-pane horizontal-sliding sash window on the left. The upper storey of this unit has a cambered 12-pane hornless sash window. The right side features a replacement glazed door with a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window immediately to the left. The upper storey has a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window. There are three hipped roof dormers, with the right-hand dormer having replacement glazing, while the center and left dormers have small-pane glazing.
The stable and cart house at the left end are made of rubble stone and have a slate roof. The cart house on the right has a timber lintel and replacement boarded doors. The stable features a split boarded door on the right, a boarded-up loft opening, a central window that is boarded up, and a boarded door on the left. The left gable end rises higher than the stable roof, indicating that a taller structure may have once existed further to the left, which has since been replaced by a corrugated-iron lean-to.
At the rear, the two original units are clearly distinguished. The left-hand unit has a blank back and an added lean-to. The projecting right-hand section has a 12-pane horned sash stair window on the left, a 2-pane sash window in the upper storey at the center, a small-pane window below, and on the right side, there is a 12-pane hornless sash window in the upper storey and a 6-pane window below.
