Description

The Rose Inn is a former coaching inn that was built in the 17th century or earlier and was re-fronted around 1835. It now operates as a public house.

The building has a long rectangular shape and faces west towards High Street. It stands three storeys tall and is two bays wide, featuring a pitched roof covered with Welsh slate and oversailing eaves that continue with the adjacent building at number 43 to the south. The front elevation, which was updated around 1835, is finished in stucco with plain quoins. A carriageway at the south end leads to Rose Yard.

The first and second floors are fitted with casement windows, likely replaced in the late 19th or early 20th century, and feature shallow curved stuccowork beneath the sills. The first-floor windows each have a shallow awning. The ground floor includes a tripartite sash window that replaced a mullioned and transomed window in the late 20th century. Inside the passageway, a former door opening was converted into a sash window in the late 20th century. The ground floor also has a plain corniced fascia, with glazed tiles added around 2018.
