Rose Cottage And Old Cottage

Rose Cottage and Old Cottage is a house dating from around 1600, now divided into two separate homes. It is constructed of rubble flint with brick and stone dressings, clunch, brick, and render, topped with red pantiled roofs. The building has two storeys and features a total of eight windows, four on the ground floor and four on the first floor, arranged in a random pattern.

The layout may have originally included a hall house with services to the east, a central hall, and parlours to the west. On the ground floor, from east to west, there is one 20th-century casement window, one single-pane casement, one segmental arched window, and one four-light casement cross window at the northern end. The first floor has two 20th-century two-light casements, one eaves casement, and a four-light casement cross window that has been inserted into an earlier large opening dressed with brick. There is also one blocked fire window beyond this.

A two-storey brick porch addition from the 19th century is located on the gable end, with a lean-to extending to the north. A section of knapped flint stone wall at the southern end may be part of the original porch. The west gable features stone quoins and two attic fire windows. There is a later 17th-century brick classical arched door architrave with imposts and keystones. The east gable has a two-storey lean-to addition that is cut off at the eaves height, and the southern front is rendered.

Inside, there is an inglenook brick fireplace at the northern end, and the roof has been much altered, featuring butt and through purlins.
