Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a house from the first half of the 17th century. It features a timber frame, with the front covered in colourwashed brick and the rest plastered. The cottage has a thatched roof and is 1½ storeys tall, built in a small two-cell layout. There are two windows, which are mid-20th century small-paned metal casements. A central stack has a cross-axial red brick shaft. The cottage has a 20th-century door on the right gable end and an older boarded door on the left gable end. The frame consists of two bays with plain but substantial studding. The ground floor rooms have plain joists set flat, with their outer ends supported on ledges. Part of one floor has been cut for a 20th-century stair, and there is evidence of an earlier stair trap nearby. The roof appears to be of clasped purlin construction.
