Description
Rookwood is an early 19th-century building that stands two storeys high with a cellar. The exterior is rendered and features a slate roof, with two parallel gabled wings at the rear. There is a rubble stone outbuilding attached to the south end of the property. The front of the house has doors with margin glazing and fluted doorcases located to the right of the centre, as well as in the north gable end. The first floor has twelve-pane sash windows with stone cills, while the windows to the right of the front door are modern tall casements. The building has two brick stacks at the ends and a larger brick ridge stack to the left of centre.
At the rear of the house, there is a courtyard arrangement of outbuildings that includes a barn, stable, and trap house.
Inside, Rookwood features good period details such as boxed beams with bead mouldings, a closed string oak staircase with a turned newel, and fluted doorcases with roundel corner blocks. The fireplace surround in the central room includes an ornate Jacobean over-mantel, which is said to have originated from Canon Frome Court in Herefordshire.
