Rose Farmhouse

Rose Farmhouse is a house dating from the early and late 16th century. It features a timber frame with plaster and a red plain tiled roof. There is an off-centre right red brick chimneystack. The building has two storeys and attics, with a 19th-century single-storey extension to the left that also has a red tiled roof. The façade includes three sets of four 20th-century vari-light casements with transoms, and the windows to the right have sidelights. An attic window is located on the right return.

The house has a late 18th-century moulded doorway aligned with the chimneystack, featuring a pediment adorned with egg and dart ornamentation and a six-panel door, where the top four panels are raised and moulded, while the bottom two are flush. The original structure likely had an end chimney plan, which was later extended in the 16th century by adding a bay to the right.

Inside, the central room has a heavy moulded ceiling with an ogee mould on the bridging joist and hollow chamfers on the common joists, which have run-out stops. There is a back-to-back inglenook fireplace with a simple mantel beam in the right extension. A fine cambered beam in the original room features multiple roll-moulding at the base and a trefoiled arcade above; although the centre of this beam has been cut away, it has been restored.

The first floor has a chambered brick four-centre arched surround, while another bedroom features an 18th-century reeded surround with corner patera and a shelf. The building includes jowled storey posts and some original diamond mullions on the first floor. The tie-beam was originally arch-braced, although one brace has been cut away. The roof has stepped side purlins, is pegged at the ridge, and features large cambered collars. The ground and first-floor rooms to the right of the chimneystack have fine plaster ceilings with moulded panels and cornices, decorated with fleur-de-lys, Tudor roses, and bosses. There is also a nailed and edge-moulded vertically boarded door.
