Description

Swiss Cottage and Rose Cottage is a cottage that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates back to the 17th century and was altered in the 18th century. The building is timber framed, with plaster rendering and a long straw thatch roof that has two different ridge and eaves heights. The roof is hipped at the east end and half hipped at the west end, featuring a red brick ridge stack. The east end has one storey and an attic that was originally open to the roof, but a floor has since been inserted. There is a bread oven with a pantiled roof on the south side, along with a doorway and a modern casement window. The west end has two storeys and may have been rebuilt or had its roof raised. It features two modern casement windows on the first floor, as well as two similar windows and a doorway at the ground floor.
