Description
Rose Cottage is a picturesque cottage located on a pathway in a pinewood, dating from around 1850. The building features a ground floor and semi-attic, with the exterior painted white, except for a lower and narrower two-storey wing of red brick that projects at the rear and includes a storehouse at ground level. The cottage has an asymmetrical T-shaped plan, with the east gable extending low over a lean-to timber verandah-porch.
The windows are mullioned casements with diamond lattice glazing, although some panes are missing. The ground floor has three-light windows with transoms, while the first floor has two-light windows. The roofs are steeply pitched and adorned with ornamental scalloped tiles arranged in bands that alternate with ordinary tiles. The eaves overhang, and the bargeboards are plain. There are diagonally set pairs of chimneystacks on the ridge.
Rose Cottage is part of a group of listed buildings along Wallisdown Road and Columbia Road.
