Description

Rose Cottage is a house, now divided into two, dating from the 16th century. It has two storeys and is positioned sideways to the road. The building is timber-framed and encased in whitewashed brick, with a half-hipped roof covered in double Roman tiles. An internal chimney stack features a shaft made of old red bricks in two joined sections. The side walls have random fenestration with small casement windows. There is a plain door with a small rustic timber porch. On the south gable end, there are two early 20th-century casement windows with three lights, one of which has an arched surround. Behind the brick exterior, the frame is intact, showing arched braces at the corners and good timbering.

The northern cottage contains one-and-a-half bays of a four-bay frame. A partition wall between the two bays has been removed on the ground floor, and a later chimney stack has been inserted beyond it, although it remains on the upper storey, with studding and arched braces beneath the tie beam. In the half bay around the chimney stack, the framing is exposed, featuring a blocked three-light diamond-mullioned window on the east wall and the remnants of another on the west. Assembly marks can be seen on the frame of the window.
