The Rookery, Nantwich

[3] These buildings survived the fire of 1583, which destroyed the town end of Hospital Street together with much of the centre of Nantwich.

[5] The Rookery is a large detached Georgian building of two storeys, in red brick with stone dressings under a tiled roof.

The front façade faces Millstone Lane and is set well back from the street behind a brick wall.

The main central doorway is flanked by paired Roman Doric columns and has a fanlight and curved pediment above.

[1] The existing building incorporates an earlier timber-framed house at the rear, which probably originally had a central hall and flanking wings.
