Description
Rose Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse located on Bow Street in Great Ellingham. It features a timber frame construction set on a plinth with clay lump infill and has a pantiled roof. The building follows a lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys high. To the left of the entrance, there is a late 19th-century kitchen extension, while to the right of the door are two sash windows with glazing bars. The first floor has two small windows. The gabled roof is topped with a ridge stack that has three brick diamond shafts.
At the rear of the farmhouse, there is a door located below the stack, flanked by one sash window with glazing bars on either side, dating from the mid-19th century. Further to the right is a small leaded casement window from the 17th century. The first floor features a four-light vertically mullioned timber window, a similar two-light window, and two mid-20th-century casements. Inside, the parlour and living room showcase many chamfered and stopped ceiling beams, with close studding made from heavy scantling. The roof consists of tie beams on arched braces and a single spine beam in one of the bedrooms. Although most fireplaces have been removed, many doors still retain their original hinges.
