Description
Rosary Cottage is a house that likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It has two storeys and attics, following a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring beaded panels of 18th and 19th-century pargetting. The roof is thatched and includes a 17th-century axial chimney made of pink brick, which has a sawtooth shaft from the same period. The windows are small-pane casements that were added in the late 19th or early 20th century. There is a mid-20th-century flat-roofed entrance porch with a panelled door. At the back, there is a two-storey extension with pantiles that likely dates from the 19th or 20th century, resulting in a double-pile plan and a two-span roof. The interior has not been examined.
