The existing cottage is understood to date from the time that the original Rothley Hall was constructed, and is a single storey cottage constructed of stone under a slate roof. The rooms are of generous proportions and most offer a pleasing south aspect offering fine views over the expansive garden and open moorland beyond.

Whilst being an appealing cottage in its own right, many may wish to take advantage of the a planning permission which existed for the expansion of the property to create additional two storey accommodation. Resulting in a property of two reception rooms, five bedrooms together with three bathrooms. This would provide a total of approximately 285m2 (3,050ft2) of floor area. In addition the permission would provided for a large double garage with a loft above with external stone staircase. The planning permission which was in place has now expired however it would be possible to renew it.
