DUDLEY BARNETT LANE (east side) No 6, Rose Cottage

House. C18, possibly with earlier origins, extended later in C18 or in early C19. Rendered brick, painted brick rear wing. Clay plain tile roof with gabled ends. Brick axial and gable-end stacks.

PLAN: two-room plan main range with central axial stack, the left room with gable-end stack; probably originally a lobby entrance in front of the axial stack, the doorway moved to the right when a putative stair turret was built on the front blocking the original entrance. Later in the C18 or early in the C19 [before 1824, William Fowler map of 1824 shows L-shaped plan] a wing was added to the rear of the right-hand end.

EXTERIOR: one storey and attic. Asymmetrical three window west front with three-light C19 casements on ground floor with glazing bars and cambered arches, two-light attic casements breaking eaves in raking half-dormers; gabled projection [probably stair turret] at centre with C20 window and porch in angle to right with tiled roof on rendered pier and with plank door. Rear, east, has gable-ended wing to left with later outshut on the end, timber shed in the angle on the right and C20 conservatory on left.

INTERIOR not inspected.
