Description

Rose Cottage and Little Orchard Cottage form a pair of early 19th-century cottages located on the north side of Panfield Ball Road. They are timber-framed buildings, with plaster infill and thatched roofs. The cottages are four bays wide, with a central chimney stack. A 20th-century single-storey extension with a tiled, hipped roof is on the left end, and a 19th-century extension with a shingled roof and a chimney stack is on the right end. The cottages are one storey high, with attics.

Rose Cottage, on the left, has two 20th-century casement windows, and a further window in a swept dormer. It features a plain boarded door within a tiled, lean-to porch. Little Orchard Cottage has one early 19th-century horizontally sliding sash window with 30 panes, two 20th-century casement windows, and another in a swept dormer. It has a plain boarded door set within a thatched, gabled porch. A roundel with the painted inscription "I.N. 1826" is visible in the plasterwork between the cottages. The roof is gambrel-shaped, half-hipped at both ends.

Inside Rose Cottage, the timber frame is largely plastered. In Little Orchard Cottage, sections of the timber frame remain exposed, showing straight bracing. Other features include plain, vertically sectioned joists, a coal-burning hearth with an iron strap supporting a brick arch, and an early staircase with a quarter-turn at the bottom, which is probably original to the building.
