Description

Rose Cottage is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier. It has a timber frame that is covered in red brick laid in Flemish bond, which was added in the 19th or early 20th century. The roof is made of plain tiles and is hipped to the right. There is a brick ridge stack located at the left end of the building. The windows are arranged irregularly and include two 20th-century two-light casements. On the left side, there is a 19th-century brick lean-to that features a 20th-century boarded door with a rectangular light below a half-glazed porch. The interior has not been inspected.
