Description

Rose Cottage is a 18th-century building that was originally two cottages. It features whitewashed rubble walls with upper sections made of plastered cob. The roof on the left side is made of scantle slate, while the right side has an asbestos slate roof. There is a rendered chimney. The layout consists of three rooms, which may have originally been a two-room cottage with a store and loft, and it is two storeys high.

The front of the cottage has three windows, which are symmetrical on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a window on the left that is partly boarded, accompanied by a three-pane window. To the right, there is a boarded door, a four-pane casement window, and a centrally hung 16-pane casement window flanking the plain boarded entrance door. On the first floor, a four-pane casement window is located between the left-hand window and door, while an eight-pane horizontal sliding sash window and a twelve-pane centrally hung casement window are positioned above the right-hand ground floor windows. The rendered chimney is located on the right side. The interior has not been inspected.
