Description
Rose Cottage is a house and attached stable, dating from the 18th century or earlier. The house is constructed of red brick with grey headers and features a steep old red tile roof. The stable, which is L-shaped and made of timber frame with dark weatherboarding, also has a steep old red tile roof and is set back to the left.
The house is asymmetrical and stands two stories tall, set back in a yard facing south with the stable on the left-hand side. The south front of the house has three windows and a door located between the lower windows. It features a plinth and a floor band on the right-hand part only, with segmental arches over the ground floor windows and timber lintels above the first-floor windows. The windows are flush casement types arranged in a pattern of three, one, and three lights. The entrance has a plank door beneath a tiled gabled hood supported by heavy shaped brackets, with a bell hung on the right-hand bracket. The house has an internal chimney on the east gable with two flues and an external chimney on the west gable with one flue.
