Description
Rose Cottage is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with extensions added in the 18th century and alterations in the 20th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a steeply pitched pantiled roof. Originally comprising two rooms with an end stack, a parlour was added to the right side. The house is one storey high with an attic. The front entrance is on the left, leading into what was originally the service bay. There are single- and two-light windows with glazing bars, two 20th-century raking dormers, and an axial ridge stack at the original right end. A gable-ended pantiled lean-to outshut sits at the front, along with a pentice board to the left and a boarded gable to the right. There are also two-light attic casements. The rear of the house features a catslide roof over a clay lump lean-to outshut, with 20th-century additions to the rear left. Inside, the hall has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, straight and reverse curved braces in the walling, arched braces to the tie beam bisected by a doorway, and collars clasping the purlins. The 18th-century parlour contains a chamfered axial binding beam and through tension bracing.
