Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a two-part cottage, the eastern section dating from around 1730 and the western section from the late 18th or early 19th century. The eastern part is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring a steeply pitched slate roof and a tall, cemented chimney stack on the left side. It has two storeys and two windows, with a brick dentilled eaves cornice. The windows retain their original surrounds; the upper floor has casement windows, while the ground floor has a single casement and a double sash window, both with cambered head linings. A cambered arched door case contains a 19th-century door to the front, and another cambered arched entrance with a boarded door is found on the side elevation. A stepped brick plinth is also present. A late 19th-century lean-to extension extends to the rear, forming a kitchen, scullery, and two bedrooms above. This western section is constructed of stock brick with a slate roof, including one hipped dormer with a casement window. The ground floor features a cambered headed casement and a cambered doorcase with a plank door – one cross-shaped and another with a circular iron tie. The eastern section contains a four-panelled door and a central spine beam with a ¼ inch chamfer and lambs tongue stops, along with lambs tongue stops to the wall plate. The interior of the western section includes a late 18th or early 19th century wooden fire surround with brackets, a later kitchen range, a stone copper in the scullery, several plank doors, and a winder staircase.
