Description

Rose Farm is a house dating from the late 14th century or early 15th century. It is timber framed and mostly weather boarded, topped with a red plain tiled roof. The building features a hall and a gabled crosswing, which has a 17th-century gable porch that projects forward at the center. It is two stories tall with a cellar and includes a gabled dormer in the main range. The house has various 19th-century small paned casement windows, exposed joists, and brackets on the crosswing jetty. There is a plank and muntin door with a two-centre arch head and a slanting canopy above it. The chimney stack is off-center and made of red brick, with another red brick stack on the right front wall. An insurance plaque is located at the gable apex. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace behind modern features, halved and bridled scarfs, and jowled storey posts. The crosswing has moulded joists with two sunk chamfers that have broached stops, a jowled and braced tie beam, and an early brick arched fireplace. Additionally, there are three late 16th-century balusters and a rail.
