Description
Rose Cottage is an early 19th-century timber-framed cottage, roughcast-rendered and with a slate roof. It is aligned approximately east-west, with a north-facing aspect and a central chimney stack. The original lean-to to the rear has a catslide roof. A small lean-to extension and a conservatory have been added to the rear. The cottage has two storeys and a symmetrical facade. The front features a central, plain boarded door and two 19th/20th-century casement windows on each floor. It is an unusually unspoiled example, reportedly built in 1835 according to deeds.
