Description
No. 80 Rose Street is a hall house that has been converted into a cottage. It dates back to the late 15th century and has been altered in the 17th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, with some sections encased in brick, while the rear shows exposed timber with brick infill. It features an old tiled gabled roof and has a rectangular plan consisting of three framed bays positioned at right angles to the road. The former hall is located in the center and was originally jettied on the road side. The cottage has two storeys and includes a large inserted chimney with clay pots on the rear roof slope.
On the road front, the building has dentilled eaves and two three-light leaded casements on each floor, with segmental heads on the ground floor. An entrance door is located between the windows, topped by a 20th-century reproduction of an 18th-century pedimented porch. Inside, the fine quality frame is exposed, featuring a large principal beam with a significant chamfer and large joists in the first bay. There is an inglenook fireplace with a large moulded beam above the opening. The first floor reveals an exposed queen post roof with curved windbraces and jowled posts. Additionally, part of an old doorway with a four-centred arched head remains under the stairs.
