Description

Rose Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior. It features a pantiled roof with glazed black tiles at the front. The building has two storeys and an attic, with three windows that are primarily 18th-century, three-light casements. Originally designed with a lobby entry, it now has a mid-20th-century boarded door located to the right. Inside, there is an internal stack, and to the right, a later gable stack is positioned behind the roof ridge. The hall contains a carved stone fireplace, which was brought from another location.
