Description
Rose Cottage, Southside and Towersyard Farm are a group of buildings dating from 1846, originally built as colliery offices and a cottage for the Fifth Lord Vernon. The buildings are constructed from English garden wall bond red brick, with some painted sandstone dressings. The roof is slate, and there are four brick chimneys.
The offices have an L-shaped plan and a single storey with a six-bay front. The windows are recessed under semi-circular brick arches with rubbed and gauged brick detailing, and are sash windows with radial glazing bars and marginal lights (the left end bay has been altered). A right-end bay projects under a gable with stone coping and dentil details. The front door has a flat, wedged stone arch carrying the date, above a four-panelled door with studding and three ornate hinges.
The attached cottage is two storeys high and symmetrical, with a three-bay front and two chimneys. It has sixteen-pane sash windows set within cambered brick arches. A framed and boarded door is set within a soldier arch.
