Roses Farmhouse

Roses Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, topped with a peg tile roof. The building has a rectangular plan and features gable end stacks at the rear, along with a 19th-century dairy outshut to the east. A 20th-century rebuilt stack is located at the rear, next to a 20th-century outshut door porch.

The farmhouse is two storeys high. The front southeast elevation has a two-window range and a central doorway with a 20th-century door that includes upper glazing with glazing bars, featuring 2x2 panes and lower fielded panels. There is a 20th-century gabled porch, also peg-tiled, supported by simple posts. The windows are all sashes; the ground floor windows are 20th-century, while the first-floor windows are 19th-century with moulded architraves.

On the rear northwest elevation, there is a deep 'catslide' roof over the outshut, which has a simple 20th-century casement window at the northeast end. The dairy includes a 2-light casement window and a vent. To the southwest, there is a 20th-century brick projection with a small stack next to the door porch under the catslide extension. The door here has upper glazing with glazing bars, featuring 2x3 panes and three lower sunk panels. The southeast elevation has an internal central stack. At the rear, there is a 20th-century ground floor 2-light casement window with glazing bars, each light having 2x3 panes, and a first-floor 19th-century sash window with a moulded architrave.

The northeast elevation features a central external stack with a slated dairy lean-to roof at the rear that nearly reaches ground level, making the dairy semi-underground. Above this, on the first floor, there is a 20th-century single light casement window with glazing bars, featuring 2x2 panes.

Inside, the farmhouse displays simple framing with primary bracing and a significant use of elm in the frame and floor joists. The layout consists of a central passage and rear stair plan with two cells. The fireplace at the southwest end appears to be original, featuring a segmental arched head, while the stack at the northeast end is likely a later addition.
