Rosemary Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage located in Duck End, Finchinglefield. It is timber framed, with a plastered exterior and a slate roof. The cottage has two bays and features a northwest gable end facing the road, with a central stack. On the left side, there is a single-storey lean-to extension that has a corrugated iron roof. The street elevation includes one early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights, one 19th-century horizontally sliding sash window with 12 lights, and two 19th-century casement windows, one of which is on the first floor. The roof is low-pitched, and the entrance is located on the right return. The cottage is listed for its group value.
