Description
Rose Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone alterations and additions in the mid-19th century. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick infill, set on a plinth of sandstone rubble and brick. The cottage has a plain tiled roof and an external brick chimney located at the northeast gable end, which has a detached stack. The building consists of two framed bays and is a single storey with an attic.
The framing includes three square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with a long straight brace in the lower corner at the front. The gable ends are supported by collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts. On the front elevation, the ground floor has two 2-light casement windows and a ledged and battened door, while there are attic lights in the gable ends. Inside, the roof features an intermediate collar-and-tie-beam truss with queen struts and a single row of trenched purlins. There is also a lean-to addition at the left gable end. Notably, a well is located about six yards in front of the main entrance.
