Rose Cottage Farmhouse

Rose Cottage Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse featuring a two-storey parlour block on the left and a lower hall range on the right, which dates from the 17th century and has 18th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with much of the close-scudded framing visible on the exterior. It has plaintiled roofs and an axial chimney made of red brick from the 17th or 18th century. There are flat-roofed casement dormers from the early 20th century and mainly 20th-century small-pane casements. The entrance door is boarded and battened, set beneath a lean-to open porch supported by posts. Inside, the parlour showcases high-quality 16th-century framing, including an ovolo-moulded bridging joist and roll-moulded common joists. The hall and parlour feature back-to-back open fireplaces. The framing in the hall range is of poorer quality and later, with some 18th-century work, including a roof that reuses medieval rafters.
