Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a house of 1666, significantly altered in the 19th century and with 20th-century additions. It’s built of coursed rubble gritstone with ashlar dressings, quoins, coped gables with plain kneelers, a brick ridge stack, and a Welsh slated roof. The east elevation is two storeys and four bays. An off-centre doorway has a half-glazed 19th-century door in a plain surround, sheltered by a shallow canopy with bargeboards and a finial. To the north of the doorway is a three-light chamfered mullioned window with simple casement frames. To the south of the door, a former doorway, now blocked and incorporating a 16-pane glazing-bar sash window within its original quoined surround, reflects the original lobby-entrance plan. A fixed-light nine-pane window is set in a rusticated stone frame at the west end. Two first-floor windows, both 16-pane glazing-bar sashes, are present; one in a plain opening, the other in a flush stone frame at the east end. The west gable has a 19th-century doorway with a flush stone surround and a four-panel 19th-century door, adjacent to a 19th-century shopfront, originally fully glazed with glazing bars but now with the lower part boarded out. A 17th-century three-light chamfered mullioned window with simple casements is above the door there, and a 20th-century plaque is inscribed “R E H 1666 J S F”.
