Description

The Roses is a house with an 18th-century facade built onto an earlier timber-framed structure. It is constructed of red brick with brick headers; a brick and stone plinth; and a brick platband. The roof is tiled, with two hipped dormers and an off-centre ridge stack likely dating from the mid-16th to early 17th century. The house has two storeys and a four-window front featuring wooden casement windows on the ground floor, set within segment-headed surrounds. A central, projecting brick porch, dated to the 19th century with a gabled design, provides access to a panelled front door. A 19th-century lean-to conservatory extends from the south side of the building.
