Description
Rose Cottage is a house from the 18th century, constructed with a timber frame and roughcast finish on a stucco plinth, topped with an old red tiled roof that extends as a catslide over the rear outshot. This two-cell, two-storey house faces west. The entrance leads into a larger room on the right, featuring a chamfered and ogee stopped cross-beam and a large internal gable chimney. The smaller room on the left has an axial beam and a staircase rising in the outshot to the rear, along with an external gable chimney that serves the ground floor fireplace, which may not be original. There are two front windows on each floor and a gabled porch in the middle. The windows are flush 2-light casements with small panes. Additionally, there is a small square window in the first-floor closet in front of the right-hand chimney, which may indicate the site of an earlier staircase.
