Rose Farmhouse

Rose Farmhouse is a former farmhouse with a core dating from the 15th or early 16th century, which was altered and enlarged in the later 16th century to create a two-cell house. It has had additions and renovations in the 19th and mid-20th centuries. The building is timber framed, with the side walls faced in red brick, while the front wall is of 19th century origin. It features a pantiled roof and stands two storeys high. There are three windows with mid-20th century standard casements that lack glazing bars, and flat soldier course arches above them. The entrance is a lobby style with a mid-20th century gabled brick porch and a plank door. An internal stack has a rendered axial shaft, and there are three mid-20th century solar panels on the front roof slope.

To the left, there is a 19th-century addition that is rendered, with exposed timbers on the upper floor. Inside, the left cell retains a fragmentary late medieval former open hall, featuring a central truss with a flat arched-braced tie beam. The walls have been raised by about one metre. The inserted floor has chamfered joists set flat, and the bay closer to the stack is trimmed for a wide opening, possibly for a timber chimney. The joists in the adjacent bay have large chamfers and may date from a different period. The right cell showcases good close studding and includes some original windows with diamond and chamfered mullions. Both floors have ceilings with chamfered joists. The roof has not been examined.
