Description

The Former Rose Cottage Tavern is a building that was likely constructed in the mid-18th century and has since been converted for residential and business use. It features uncoursed killas rubble with quoins and a slate roof, along with brick chimneys. The structure has a rectangular plan made up of two two-unit sections, with the right half being an addition. Both sections have outshuts, with the left one likely being an early addition to what was originally a single-depth building.

The building has two low storeys, with the main section on the left having three symmetrical bays. This section includes a central doorway, two four-pane sash windows on the ground floor, and three sash windows above, along with a long sign board between the floors. The right addition, which is slightly angled back, matches the size and form of the main section but has an altered central doorway that has been converted into a window, and there is no central window on the first floor. Gable chimneys are present, and the rear of the building has some low sash windows.

The interior of the building is understood to have been altered. Historically, it is one of the few surviving 18th-century buildings in Redruth. The Jenkin family of Trewirgie House stayed here while their home was being rebuilt in the 1820s. Additionally, a medieval cross was discovered when the stable was demolished in 1939 and was relocated outside Murdoch House on Cross Street.
