Description
Rose Cottage is a cottage dating from the 16th century, which was restored in the 20th century. It has an L-shaped plan with a wing on the north side.

The west side features a jetty that is underbuilt and blocked in red brick. The roofs are hipped and covered with plain tiles, with a central ridge stack on the main block. The cottage is two storeys high and has an irregular front with three casement windows. Entrances are located at the rear.
