Description

Rose Cottage is a pair of cottages from the 18th century that have been combined and altered in the 19th century. The building features a mix of construction materials, including partly timber framing and weatherboarding, as well as brick, all topped with handmade red clay tiles. The cottages are aligned approximately northeast to southwest and have one chimney stack at the rear of the ridge and another in the northeast gable end. At the back, there is a 19th-century lean-to extension with timber-framed and weatherboarded walls, covered with 19th-century red clay Roman tiles. The structure is two storeys high, with a plain boarded door and three 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor, plus two additional casement windows on the first floor. The southwest gable end and more than half of the front are weatherboarded, while the northeast gable end and the rest of the front are made of yellow-grey stock bricks. The cottage is listed for its group value.
