Rosemary Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Weston Fore Street. It features a timber frame that is plastered and decorated with panelled fan pargetting. The hipped thatched roof extends lower at the ends and covers two short rear wings. The house is two storeys tall and faces west towards the roadside. It has a pair of central brick chimneys with capping, set diagonally on a single brick plinth. The front elevation includes mostly two-light flush wood casements with leaded glass. On the ground floor, there are three two-light casements, and in the centre, there is a doorway with a pedimented hood supported by brackets. The first floor has two leaded casements. Inside, the ground floor features ceiling beams and exposed timber framework.
