Description

Rose Cottage is a house dating from around 1800. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins, although the ends are rendered, and it features a Welsh slate roof with rendered brick end stacks. The gables are topped with stone coping. The building has two storeys and includes three 2-light casement windows. On the ground floor, there are two 2-light wood mullion and transom windows on either side of a central glazed door, which has a 2-light overlight above it. There are also two 2-light dormer windows and, on the right end, two attic 1-light windows. At the rear, there is a two-storey extension and a 20th-century one-storey wing.
