The Rose Inn

The Rose Inn is a terrace of four cottages that has been converted into a public house. It dates from around 1700 and was transformed into a beer-house in the early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main range faces southeast and features a central stack, with an external stack at each end. At the rear, there is a narrower parallel range from the late 18th century. The building has three single-storey wings added in the 20th century, which are symmetrically arranged. It stands two storeys tall, with six 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor. A central 20th-century door is set in a gabled porch, creating a lobby entrance. Inside, the ground floor shows that the former partitions between the cottages have been reduced to incomplete frames that support an axial beam, which is partly chamfered. The roughly squared joists are fully jointed and pegged to the axial beams, while the hearths have been altered.
