Description
Rose Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse built of brick and topped with a black pantiled roof. The building is designed in an L shape and has two storeys. It features a round arched doorway that contains a door from the 1970s, set beneath a semi-circular light. The doorway is accented with painted keystones and impost blocks. There is one sash window on either side of the door and three sash windows on the first floor, all with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches. The corners of the farmhouse are adorned with plastered clasping buttresses. The gabled roof has raised coping and internal end stacks. To the west, there is a single-storey, one-bay extension. The rear wing of the farmhouse is two storeys high, featuring casement windows on the first floor under segmental gauged arches, and has a gabled pantiled roof. Additionally, there is a 20th-century outshut on the east wall.
