Description

Rose Cottage is an 18th to 19th century timber-framed cottage featuring wattle and daub construction. At the east end, there is a 20th century addition that matches the style of the original building. The cottage is a single storey and has casement windows with lattice leaded lights, also from the 20th century. The roof is thatched.
