Description
Rose Cottages consists of two cottages, likely built in the 1840s by Henry Clutton. They are constructed from sandstone rubble, featuring rough-faced ashlar quoins. The slate roof has coped gable parapets with moulded kneelers and blind slit windows, along with stone lateral stacks. The cottages are arranged in an H-plan with a central two-storey porch.
The building has two storeys and five bays. The porch includes offsets on the sides between the ground and first floors, and it features a chamfered segmental-pointed arched doorway with a late 20th-century half-glazed door. Above the doorway, there is a crest in relief. The first floor has a blind slit window, while the double-chamfered mullioned windows are fitted with painted iron lattice glazing that includes margin bars. The left and right bays have single lights with a transom, and the first-floor windows are two-light with a sill course that continues around as a moulded surround. The gabled wings have cross windows. The return sides feature lateral stacks with a slit window at the base and a blind slit above, along with a moulded string course and four chamfered square shafts beneath a single cornice. The interiors have not been inspected.
