Description

Rose Cottage is a house dating from 1687, as indicated by the inscription on the lintel. It is constructed of rubble with a slate roof and features a two-unit central-entry plan with end stacks. The building stands two storeys high and has two bays. The windows are mullioned, rebated, and chamfered. The ground-floor windows, which were originally four lights, now have only one mullion each remaining, while the first-floor windows consist of three lights. The door has a moulded surround, and the chimney caps are modern. Inside, the left-hand room retains the remains of a shouldered fireplace, along with a blocked fire window in the front wall.

Local climate

Rose Cottage sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,360 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
