Description
Rookwood Cottage is an attached chapel cottage built in an L-plan design. It is a two-storey building with a slate roof, set into a slope with the chapel positioned higher up and the cottage at the base. The structure features a rubble plinth. The cottage has rubble end walls that include projecting chimney stacks, and the lower half of the front wall likely replaces lost timber-framing, while the upper floor retains square-panel framing. The cottage has 20th-century glazing, mostly consisting of small timber casements, along with a part-glazed door beneath a plain hood.
The chapel section has a stone-tile roof and weatherboarded side walls above the high plinth, with a rendered gable end that includes a gabled porch. It features similar window designs to the cottage.
Inside, the cottage showcases substantial jowelled wall posts and roof trusses, along with exposed chamfered beams and some visible wall framing. The chapel has a simple interior with large tie beam trusses that are partially exposed beneath a modern boarded ceiling at collar level. There is a simple boarded reading desk located at the south end, accessed by steps.
