Description
Rose Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone later alterations and additions. It features a timber frame that is faced with brick and rough render, topped by a red tiled gambrel roof. The cottage is one storey high with attics and includes three flat-headed dormers. There is a three-window range of small-paned casements, and a 20th-century gabled porch is located at the center of the left original bays. Inside, there is a jowled storey post on the ground floor, chamfered bridging joists, and an inglenook fireplace with a renewed mantel beam. Joseph Lewis and Robert Youngs, who were husbandmen, lived here in 1796, as noted in F.H. Erith's "Ardleigh in 1796," published in 1978.
