Rosary Cottage and Shop Adjoining to North East

Rosary Cottage and the adjoining shop, located in St. Mary's Square, is a house that has been converted into a house and shop. It dates from the 18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, with a facade of gault brick in Flemish bond on the southeast side, painted brick on the northeast side, and plastered surfaces elsewhere. The roof is covered with handmade red plain tiles.

The main range faces southeast and features an axial stack, with a parallel range to the northwest. Both ranges are cut back at the northeast end, creating a convex curved elevation towards St. Mary's Square. The building is two storeys tall. The southeast elevation has a three-window range of early 19th-century sashes with 12 lights, flat arches of gauged brick, and crown glass. There is a small casement window above the door, which is an off-centre six-panel door with the top two panels glazed, set in a pedimented doorcase. The roof has a plain parapet with stone coping and is hipped.

On the northeast elevation, there is a 20th-century double shopfront with a central glazed door and a blocked doorway to the right, which has been replaced with a 20th-century window. The first floor features one early 19th-century sash window with 12 lights and crown glass, along with a 20th-century replica window, both set in flat arches of gauged brick, and a similar blind aperture between them. The parapet is plain, and both front hips are canted to match the curving elevation. Inside, there is an early 19th-century dogleg stair with a hardwood handrail and plain stick balusters. The interior was fully plastered at the time of the survey in November 1986.
