Description
Rose Cottage is a pair of cottages from the early 19th century that have been converted into one house. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a slate roof. It has a ridge that runs from northwest to southeast and faces northeast. There are two chimney stacks: one in front of the ridge and one behind it, located on the dividing line between the two original cottages.
To the west, there is a lean-to extension with a slate roof, and to the east, a lean-to porch also with a slate roof. At the rear, there is a conservatory added in the 20th century. The house stands two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there is one six-panel door and two early 19th-century double-hung sash windows, while another door has been blocked and plastered. The first floor features two early 19th-century double-hung sash windows.
This building may still have elements of a single-storeyed lobby-entrance house that was recorded on this site in the Walker map of 1609, but it was not possible to confirm this due to access being refused in March 1983.
