Description
Rosemary Cottage is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, featuring brick stacks at the ridge and right end. The building has a three-unit plan, is one storey high with an attic, and has a three-window range. The front includes a 20th-century door with a thatch hood and three-light casements, along with late 19th-century three-light dormer casements. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear. Inside, there is a chamfered and stopped beam on the right and chamfered beams on the left. A central timber-framed partition features a quarter-turn stair at the front, leading up to a closed truss with windbraces. The timber-framed wall and external stone stack in the left bay are likely later additions.
