Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with some alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of stone rubble, which has been rendered, and has a corrugated iron roof with gable end stacks. One stack is of rubble with a shaped top and is rendered. The original plan consisted of two rooms: a hall or kitchen to the left and a parlour to the right, each heated by its own gable end stack. Initially, the entrance was to a passage, and the parlour was a smaller room, but the partition wall has been removed, and the entrance now leads directly into the room on the right. A small, likely 19th-century, lean-to has been added to the right end.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The ground floor has a two-light casement window with three panes and L hinges to the left, a single six-pane light window, and an open-fronted porch with a pitched corrugated iron roof and a plain inner door. To the right is a two-light casement window with three panes and L hinges, and a single-story lean-to with a four-pane light window to the front and a 20th-century window to the side. The first floor has a two-light casement window with four panes, a single six-pane light window, and a two-light casement window with six panes and L hinges. The left end is blind.

Inside, a straight staircase has been inserted to the rear of what was formerly the passage. Both fireplaces have been rebuilt; the one on the left originally had an oven. The parlour retains roughly hewn chamfered beams.
