Roses Manor Farm

Roses Manor Farm is a farmhouse dating from the late 15th or early 16th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with only the principal posts exposed, and has a plain tile roof. The building is designed in the Wealden style, with an open hall consisting of two unequal bays. There is a broad two-storey bay on the right end and evidence of a demolished two-storey bay on the left.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and stands on a galletted stone plinth. The right end bay jetties out on plain brackets, and there are two tension braces of uneven length supporting the open hall. An arch brace is present at the right end of the flying wall-plate, with a bracket beneath the left end. A solid bracket supports the central tie. The roof is half-hipped to the left and hipped with a large gablet to the right, with the right hip returning. A multiple brick ridge stack is centrally located in the narrow right bay of the hall, and there is a projecting brick stack at the right gable end. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three windows: one three-light casement in the left bay of the hall, a small fixed light in the right hall bay, and another three-light casement in the right end bay. A boarded door with a rectangular light leads up two steps to the left end of the right end bay.

There is a long right return wing that is tile-hung on the first floor and also two storeys high. This wing has a hipped roof with a lower ridge and a projecting stack towards the rear on the right side. It contains two two-light casements and an end lean-to.

The farmhouse is named after William Rose, who owned the house in the late 15th century. It was later owned by Joseph Hatch, a bell-founder, in the early 17th century.
