Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a hall house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th century, and further changes and extensions occurring in the mid to late 20th century. The structure features a timber frame with sections of painted brick and painted render infill, while the extension is built from red brick in stretcher bond. The roofs are covered with old tiles and have gabled designs.

The building is likely to have originally been in an H-plan layout, with a central hall consisting of two framed bays and two crosswings. Currently, it has a T-plan configuration with one section of three framed bays and an extension on the north side. The cottage stands two storeys tall and has four chimneys, two of which are from the late 16th century and have large battered bases; one of these chimneys is now enclosed within the extension. The windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars.

The entrance front faces south and features a single bay projecting gable on the right, supported by jowled posts and long arch braces leading to a cambered tie beam, which is underbuilt in brick. The left section has two two-light windows on the first floor and one two-light window on the ground floor. There is a 20th-century hipped roof porch at the angle, which includes a single light window and a wooden plank door. The return gable on the west side has jowled posts with open mortices and two large arch braces leading to a large cambered tie and an arched braced collar. The rafters show mortices for the former wind braces, indicating this was likely the central truss of the original hall. A large late 16th-century chimney is situated in the center.

Inside, there is a significant amount of fine quality timber framing visible. The ground floor features square section plain joists with a chamfered principal beam. The former hall has an arch-braced collar roof, while a plain arch-braced king post roof is exposed above the square stairwell in the former crosswing. Large floor joists have been cut to accommodate a 20th-century open well staircase.
